Mysterious guerrilla attacks occur at the manufacturing facilities in Brazil and Kazakhstan. And Gordian's deepest fears are confirmed The Orion project has been targeted by an international terrorist whose criminal enterprises thrive on violence and political instability. The year is 2001, and American businessman Roger Gordian has extended his reach into space. But the launch of a shuttle carrying parts for the station is sabotaged. Harlan DeVane's goal is to cripple Gordian's intelligence and security team, while stowing a high-powered electromagnetic pulse generator aboard Orion -- a state-of-the-art weapon with the capacity to throw every major American city into chaos. His company has become the principal contractor in the design and manufacture of Orion, a multinational space station
OK, but Another thrilling novel by Tom Clancy, but after reading several of his novels, I realized that - while the ultimate evil deed was thwarted, the ultimate villains just kind of dry up and blow away.

I love the action, the technology, and the people, the warfighters extraordinaire and their significant others. I am so sorry to know that he is goneand so early an age!!! He will be missed by his many fansespecially me!!!

From Library Journal Roger Gordian's troubles, which we heard about in Ruthless, continue in this work. Terrorists are out to get him, and this time they have a special
