About this title

About the Author:

A native Texan, Payne Harrison admits to having a "jaded past" as a newspaper reporter. He holds B.A. and M.A. degrees from Texas A&M and an M.B.A. from SMU, and served as an officer with the U.S. Army in Europe. His journey to being a New York Times bestselling author started with his sending an excerpt of his book STORMING INTREPID to a New York publishing house, unsolicited and without an agent. That led to a multi-book publishing deal, an appearance on the TODAY show, hitting the Times list, and a paperback auction. He is the author of Storming Intrepid, Thunder of Erebus, Black Cipher, Forbidden Summit and EUROSTORM. He and his wife live in Dallas, Texas.

From the Inside Flap:

ning success...A literally out-of-this-world chess game of nuclear proportions."
THE BALTIMORE SUN
What begins as a routine voyage of a space shuttle carrying Star Wars technology, turns into a harrowing nightmare in outer space when a Russian agent siezes command of the vehicle. The President is prepared to use everything from stealth bombers and SR-71 Blackbirds to untested space fighters, as this precendent-shattering confrontation hurtles toward its tension-crackling climax.
"Harrison has created a most believable scenario, with an amazing series of twists and turns....Run, do not walk, to the bookstore."
