About This Book
French Astronaut Andre Dubois was nearly blasted out of the sky in a Russian plot to destroy the International Space Station. Recovered from his injuries, he was restless after months of recuperation in Israel. Upon his return to France, a person or persons unknown kidnap him.
Could his kidnapping have a connection to the mysterious suicide of his friend and mentor, Monsignor Gauthier? Why did the priest kill himself on French television? What is the interest of the Vatican in the astronaut? Has Israel entered into a secret pact with Russia? Or have Russia and the Catholic Church combined to ruin Israel?
What is the connection between the priest, the astronaut, and the bombing of the Iraqi nuclear reactor at Osirak in 1981? How are Iran and Pakistan involved in the plot against Israel? How are e-mails from the International Space Station used for and against the Jewish state?
When Israeli secret agent Shimon Levi becomes involved, he first must escort Michelle, the beautiful ex-fiancee of the astronaut, to Paris to aid in finding the missing man. The vivacious young archeologist and the older agent notice one another in the way that men and women have noticed one another from the beginning of time. No matter how unlikely, no matter what others may think, the pair can feel the gravitational pull of each for the other. But what, if anything, to do about it?
Romance and deep international intrigue pull the reader from Moscow to Montreal, from Israel to Paris, outer space, and even to Mexico.
