Book description
The year is 2009. For Kip Dawson, winning a passenger seat on American
Space Adventure's spacecraft is a dream come true. One grand shot of
insanity and he can return to earth fulfilled. But the thrill of the
successful launch turns to terror when a micrometeorite penetrates the
capsule, leaving the radios as dead as the pilot. Reality hits: Kip
isn't going home.
With nothing to do but wait for his doomed fate, Kip writes his
epitaph on the ship's laptop computer, unaware that an audience of
millions has discovered it and is tracking his every word on the
Internet. As a massive struggle gets underway to rescue him, Kip has
no idea that the world can hear his cries -- or that his heroism in
the face of death may sabotage his best chance of survival.
