Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Former astronaut Scott Blackstone's dream of opening outer space to visits from everyday people is under attack. His pilot program has been marred by a fatal accident, he's out of a job, and he's being sued for a billions dollars. And it's beginning to seem that the "accident" wasn't at all accidental. Then the endless conflict between India and Pakistan heats up...and Pakistan explodes a nuclear device in the upper atmosphere, frying electronics on earth and in space, and putting the crew of the international Space Station at risk. With the Shuttle fleet grounded, only a secret skunkworks project known to Scott and his old friends can save the space station's stranded crew. The Return is a tale about the kind of space adventure that could happen today--and that will happen tomorrow. As told by Buzz Aldrin, who's been there...and who's already helped change the world. Synopsis:Aldrin, the second man to walk on the Moon, and Barnes, an award-winning novelist, present this novel about the opportunities and dangers in space today. As the International Space Station gets closer to tumbling out of orbit, only former astronaut Scott Blackstone and his network of allies can mount a rescue of the Station, and of the space program itself.
