Overview

A space shuttle is destroyed during flight, and the CIA recalls disgraced agent Blaine McCracken to uncover the people responsible
A space shuttle disappears during a routine repair mission, 180 miles above Earth’s surface. An intelligence operative with a dark secret is murdered, his car set ablaze, while he is in the middle of fulfilling a depraved fantasy. And a reporter receives a message from a dying man that suggests the organization responsible may be one of the world’s most prestigious corporations. The government knows just one man who can untangle this mystery: a throwaway on the deactivated list. Exiled to a desk job in Paris for stepping on the wrong toes, Blaine McCracken is a killer—a ruthless pursuer of truth who will let no one, friend or enemy, stand in his way when civilian lives are in danger. McCracken gets results, and his country needs him now more than ever. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Jon Land including rare photos from the author’s personal collection.

Meet the Author

Since The Doomsday Spiral was published in 1983, Jon Land has written more than thirty novels. He began his career as a novelist at Brown University, where he talked the faculty into accepting a technothriller as his honors thesis. His first series titles were the Blaine McCracken novels, but it was his Ben and Danielle series featuring a Detroit cop and an Israeli detective who chase murderers in the Holy Land that brought him into prominence in the thriller community. Land has also written a series featuring Texas Ranger Caitlin Strong—a female hero in a genre which, Land has said, has too few of them. The first three books in the series—Strong Enough to Die (2009), Strong Justice (2010), and Strong at the Break (2011)—have all garnered critical praise, with Strong Justice being named a Top Thriller of the Year by Library Journal and runner-up for Best Novel of the Year by the New England Book Festival. Land’s most recent work is Pandora’s Temple (2012), the latest in the Blaine McCracken series. He currently lives in Providence.

    This doesn't deserve to be completed. I bought the first several

    This doesn't deserve to be completed. I bought the first several books of this series, I am sorry to have wasted my money. I was looking forward to reading this, the genre is one I enjoy. However, it remains unfinished due to BLATANT CHILD ABUSE between a man and 13 year old twin brother and sister within the first chapter. Had the author "mentioned" the perverse action of the character, that is one thing. However, the author went into VERY DESCRIPTIVE DETAILS of the actions between the man and children. That was WRONG on so many levels. It did nothing to help or add to the story. Yes, the character and the others involved died, as well as the children. This does not make it justifiable "overlooking" the descriptively detailed depravity of sexually abusing children. The one bad thing about reading on the NOOK, it makes the desire of throwing the book across the room hazardous should one act upon the impulse!!!

    The Omega Command Conquers!

    This novel was by far one of the best I have ever read. There are so many different plots all occuring but they are not difficult to follow and easy differenciate. Jon Land does an excellent job of tying it all together piece by piece. I would recommend this novel to anyone who enjoys action, adventure, and suspense.
