Steve Berry When an ultra-rich space tourist visits the orbiting International Space Station, NASA expects a $100 million win-win: his visit will bring in much needed funding and publicity. But the tourist venture turns into a scheme of terror. Together with an extremist cosmonaut, the tourist slaughters all the astronauts on board the million-pound ISSand prepares to crash it into New York City at 17,500 miles an hour, causing more devastation than a hundred atomic bombs. In doing so, they hope to annihilate the worlds financial system. All that stands between them and their deadly goal is the lone survivor aboard the ISS, Kimberly Hasid-Robinson, a newly divorced astronaut who has barricaded herself in a secure area.

“Die Hard on the International Space Station.” How could I not read this? Kim Hadid is the sole survivor on the ISS when two terrorists infiltrate the station. The science in this action thriller is interesting but the writing is…dodgy. It attempts the problem-solving spirit of “The Martian” but gets bogged down when the protagonist longs for her ex-husband‘s recognition between offing bad guys. Just wait for the inevitable Netflix adaptation.

Bigwig Well folks, the plot of this thriller turned out to be eerily prescient. The head of Roscosmos just threatened to crash the ISS into one of Russia‘s adversaries. Unreal. 2y

I am posting one book per day from my to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new - don‘t judge me I have a lot of books.
Join the fun if you want. This is day 233.

The concept of this one had so much potential. Unfortunately, it didn't deliver. I'm being generous with the so-so.
