Lash-Up

The New York Times-bestselling author 'puts a fresh spin on . . . a near-future war between the US and China' in this military technothriller (Publishers Weekly). In a bid to dominate Asia and the western Pacific, China provokes a military crisis with the United States . . . and then starts shooting down GPS satellites. America must suddenly devise a plan to protect its remaining satellites before China achieves an enormous advantage in the coming conflict. The satellites can only be protected from orbit, so an armed spacecraft must be quickly designed, built, and launched to fight on this new battlefield. With the fate of the United States resting on their shoulders, a team of soldier-scientists must construct a craft capable of knocking space weapons out of the sky and enter the ultimate trial by fire . . .
