More about the book
A massive projectile towers into the sky, destined to carry a newly constructed space station into orbit. The countdown is on. The city, risen from the desert, is on edge. Everything—its survival, the existence of specialists, the millions in profits for entrepreneurs, the political power of the gubernatorial candidate—depends on the success of "Zero Hour." Yet former astronaut Mike Barnes, who returns as a space doctor, harbors serious doubts about that success. He has compelling reasons for his skepticism, but no one, not even the woman who loves him, wants to hear them.
