Book Description
In a stealthy space rendezvous, astronaut Adam MacGregor captures a mysterious derelict rumored to be the tomb of a cosmonaut from the early days of Soviet space flight. The US President wants its contents televised live to the world from space. He intends to refute Moscow's claim that no cosmonaut ever died in orbit, thus emphasizing that Communists lie and cannot be trusted. At stake are wavering votes for a UN treaty ("Open Lands") to inspect for weapons of mass destruction. Russia, returned to Communism, denounces the plan, saying the integrity of its word makes outside inspection unnecessary. . Moscow detects Adam's space rendezvous and warns him to retreat. But he presses on and discovers what Communist denial has really been hiding: a sensational early space exploit that ended in tragedy. As the Russians attack, Adam fights for his life and for a chance at undying love with an aroused enemy. Gravity will kill this revenant if she returns to Earth. Both nations, wanting the secret of survival, prepare forces to bring back the couple who, defying orders to land, desperately seek options for a future together.
