In Book Three, it’s an international fight for the ultimate high-ground when we move from the frozen wastelands of the Arctic to space, and the shoals of satellites orbiting the earth. With Russia and China launching hundreds of satellites a year, the low-Earth orbiting bodies are becoming more and more in number, and the slightest degree of inaccuracy can mean the destruction of critical global positioning anchors, and the failure of an entire set of networked systems—including the United States’s military defenses. When Agent Tucker Avila’s intelligence points to a breach in the defense of the United States’s satellite operations, he digs deeper and is catapulted into a ‘survival of the smartest’ where tons of space junk is masking a pattern of satellite behavior that could destabilize any chance the world has of forming an international space treaty.
