and before the International Space Station ever reached orbit,
the future of America's space program hung in the balance . . .
In R.J. Pineiro's exciting first alternate-history novel, the technicians at NASA hoped to create a fail-safe shuttle in the wake of the CHALLENGER disaster. With the brand-new space shuttle LIGHTNING, all systems were go . . .
Then lightning struck twice.
SIEGE OF LIGHTNING
America's greatest technological achievement has been sabotaged.
First an engine malfunctions. Then, another. Now LIGHTNING is
desperately trying to land, racing against time--and a
powerful and unseen enemy will do anything to make the first flight
of LIGHTNING its last . . .
"A brilliant tale of industrial espionage and sabotage. An insider's look at the secretive world of space exploration. Truly a good read."
--Nelson DeMille, Bestselling author of The Gold Coast and The Charm School
"Chilling . . . a riveting climax."
--Joe Weber, bestselling author of DEFCON One
"Heart stopping . . . one of the best thrillers of the year."
--Charles Ryan, author of The Capricorn Quadrant
"Gripping, spine-tingling and explosively brilliant . . . Pineiro might just be the next Michael Crichton!"
--Guy Durham, author of Stealth and Extreme Prejudice

Review
--Charles Ryan, author of The Capricorn Quadrant
"Gripping, spine-tingling and explosively brilliant as any thriller you're likely to read this year. R.J Pineiro makes an outstanding debut! This one moves like a singed cat. SIEGE OF LIGHTNING's author is that rare combination of fast-paced thriller writer and top-flight techno-researcher. Pineiro might just be the next Michael Crichton! Not only an excellent first novel, but a damned fine one regardless of vintage."
--Guy Durham, author of Stealth and Extreme Prejudice
