    About this audiobook

    For astronaut David Dixon, sneaking aboard a Russian space station and stealing a nuclear bomb was the easy part-now he has to survive re-entry on an untested inflatable heat shield and then deal with the aftermath of being the most wanted man on Earth.

    When a clandestine intelligence agency offers David the chance to return to space and probably not get killed-he finds himself in a world of intrigue when a secret mission takes an unexpected turn as he goes undercover on an orbiting science platform in order to track down the spymaster known as Silverback.

      A thoroughly enjoyable continuation of the story that began with Station Breaker. Going in I wasn't sure where the author would take the story after such an action packed opening novel and pleasingly whilst the level of action in this story is lesser, it is nonetheless an excellent read. I highly enjoyed the amateur space detective aspect as Dixon methodically attempts to identify who is responsible for the theft of classified information (well, part of a laser crystal anyway).I am hoping the author will continue the series with a third book as it seems there's plenty of material to expand the narrative with Laney and the newly minted organisation.Would recommend, but definitely read Station Breaker first for the full experience.
