Explanation Concering Books Freefall (Icefire #2)
The year is 2008The next race to the Moon has begunNot to make new discoveries
But to bury old secrets
THE PLACE The International Space Station. Docked to it, the Space Shuttle "Constitution." Crewed by ten astronauts trained to recover the $100-million cargo aboard the first privately launched lunar sample-return mission.
THE EVENT Sabotage. The containers from the Moon hold more than rocks and moondust, and there are those who are willing to kill to keep that knowledge from the world.
So begins the riveting new novel by acclaimed writing team Judith & Garfield Reeves-Stevens -- a relentless tale of high-tech conspiracy and suspense that reaches back to the darkest secrets of the space race of the 1960s, and ahead to the startling new technologies that will drive us to the Moon in the next decade.
"Freefall" marks the long-awaited return of the heroes of "Icefire" -- the Reeves-Stevens novel Stephen King hailed as: "The best suspense novel of its kind since "The Hunt for Red October.""
Now U.S. Navy Captain Mitch Webber, outspoken oceanographer Cory Rey, and Air Force Major Wilhemina Bailey of the United States Space Command are reunited in an even more harrowing adventure that pits them against the ruthless inheritors of a staggering conspiracy that could change history.
From the covert infiltration of China's most secure aerospace facility and the stirring heroism of astronauts and cosmonauts confronting disaster in space, to sudden violence on ordinary suburban streets and the startling revelation of America's most secret space program, "Freefall" is a nonstop explosive read that in true Reeves-Stevens fashion makes readers wonder where truth ends and fictionbegins.

Fun Book Sci-fi Secret Moon base conspiracy.Years after saving the world from the Icefire tsunami, Mitch Webber and Cory Rey find themselves working together again. Cory is on the International Space Station to retrieve lunar samples for her employer. There are powers that don't want those samples returned and an act of sabotage results in the destruction of a space shuttle and damage to the ISS. Only Rey and a Russian cosmonaut live to return to Earth.Mitch is enticed to work for the U.S. Space Force, a clandestine branch of the AirRead this when I was a teenager and loved it! It was very thought provoking for me at the time, and I've always remembered it.
Good conspiracy theory story about the Air Force secretly getting part of NASA's funding to start a U.S. Space Force, with a love story on the side.
I loved the first book, Icefire. So I was very excited to learn that there would be a sequel. I found myself sadly disappointed with this book, however. It barely kept my interest, which is saying something because I'm an avid reader and will read almost anything if I'm bored enough. Perhaps I just looked forward to it too much. Either way, is was a let down.
Absolutely improbable from a historical standpoint. Categorically ludicrous scientifically. But a heckuva fun read nonetheless.
