The meteor strike was just one more insult after years of neglect. The space station was dying a slow and painful death. A death not unlike that facing millions of patients on earth. Without the drugs produced in the weightlessness of space, death would come much too soon to far too many. Demographic trends decimating the work force. The economy in depression. The government paralyzed by political extremists. Jake Marshall needed a miracle to succeed, another miracle just to survive!
Steve Cammick was born in New Hampshire and grew up on Estero Island, Florida. He served in the U.S. Air Force as a special electronics technician and worked on missile guidance systems. After being honorably discharged, he became a Certified Financial Planner and Registered Investment Advisor. His insight into the economic and political challenges facing our country's aging population add credibility to a very realistic portrayal of the future. In addition to his professional endeavors, Cammick has boated extensively throughout the Caribbean.
Having faced many near catastrophes, he has a keen understanding of the many self-contained shipboard systems. The challenges of making "jerry rigged" emergency repairs on the high seas is not unlike that facing astronauts stranded in space. This experience, plus a life-long infatuation with the NASA space program has resulted in a book that is much more than just a good read. As the future unfolds, the story line will become more of a prophecy of the future than current fiction.
