About the Book

A space shuttle is launched with software intentionally corrupted, resulting in a failed abort attempt and crash in Florida. One crew member is killed, the others injured. Terry McGreggor, NASA software genius and former computer hacker, leads a NASA inside investigation to discover the cause and have explanations ready before releasing it to the press. The investigation takes Terry through deceptions within NASA and American industry, to connections with those who want onboard experiments destroyed, to the love and loss of a beautiful young woman, to an attempted coverup that Terry has to bring to the American people.
