Synopsis

Hero or Killer?

In a startling future that's coming closer every year, Chet Kinsman is an astronaut ace who has done everything in space--including committying the first murder. It's a secret he can never escape, not even on the Moon, where he's head of the first U.S. lunar colony.

But suddenly, a series of shocking yet strangely inevitable circumstances forces Kinsman to confront his hidden past and decide Earth's destiny. In a desperate countdown to nuclear annihilation, Kinsman struggles against a deadly paradox: if he rescues the world, he may end up destroying himself.

From Library Journal:

As the U.S.-Soviet space race dominates the latter half of the 20th century, Chet Kinsman, Air Force pilot, astronaut, and passionate Quaker, takes a dramatic risk to bring peace to a troubled world. Bova's complete revision of two earlier novels Kinsman and Millennium presents a vision of Earth's near future that will appeal to readers of military sf. JC
