Conspiracies
Just finished Freefall by Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens. It uses a few of the same characters as IceFire, another book by them that I enjoyed.
This book starts out with a scene from the Johnson administration, then quickly changes to the main plot line which is in the year 2008. The story revolves around the International Space Station and an accident caused during what was meant to be a government cover up. The story is well done and does a good job at taking a stab at the conspiracy theory that we won the space race (or did we?) by sabotage. They also include a new (at least to me) theory about Area 51.
This also marks book number 6 for me this year and makes me wonder if I'll make 10 for the year. If I finish some of the books that I've started without starting new ones it shouldn't be a problem, but that's not likely to be the case.
Anyhow, if you like the writing of these authors (they've written about 34 books, including several Trek novels) then I suggest that you read Icefire and this one...and maybe even Quicksilver.
