Onboard the International Space Station, Naval Astronaut Claire McFadden
is enjoying another routine mission in space when an unexpected explosion
cripples the station. With one of her crewmates dead and the station quickly
losing altitude, she struggles to bring it under control and buy the crew time
until rescue hopefully can come. Unfortunately, NASA does not have a manned
spacecraft to reach them, and the other international space agencies cannot or
will not help, leaving the crew stranded.

With the station coming dangerously close to a fiery reentry, her old love and
fellow former Navy pilot, Steve Paige, offers a radical and risky solution.
The company he works for as a test pilot is developing a next-generation
spacecraft, the Valkyrie. However, Steve is conflicted about his motive for
volunteering for the mission. Is it duty to fellow astronauts or lingering
emotions for Claire?

As NASA and the U.S. State Department scramble for a solution, Claire
investigates what caused the improbable accident. She learns of a sinister
plot to use the ISS as a retaliatory weapon aimed at Washington, D.C. This
compels her to try to piece together who and how the station was sabotaged
before it is too late.

The people behind the attack will stop at nothing to keep the identity of the
culprit a secret. Even if someone can save her and the crew, Claire is the
only one who knows what really happened, making her the target of an
international assassin. The stakes are high as all parties understand that the
incident could spark World War III.
