An “excessive [and] delirious” thriller about an ex-cop's “entertaining struggles with the killer cabal known as 'the accident people'” (Los Angeles Times).
Charlie Hardie finds himself in a steel box, tubes and wires attached to his body, trapped inside a satellite parked in orbit 500 miles above the Earth. He's got a year's supply of food, air, water, and no communication back to Earth, and must complete his twelve months' duty or his wife and son will have an “accident.” But when someone all-too-familiar docks on the satellite, informs Hardie he's sitting in a veritable zero-G vault containing the world's most dangerous secrets, and forces a crash-landing in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, Hardie must decide whether he's come face-to-face with the partner he needs to save his family — or with his nemesis. After years of exile, Hardie's arming up. . . .and heading home.
