Review: Great Second Book to the series
Rating: 5 out of 5

The first book leaves us with a cliff hanger that is quickly taken care of in the first few chapters of Book 2.  Love how the story flows.  In Book one, we have a new presidential administration that promises to cut the deficit yet is anti business. I'll leave it up to you to guess how the new president is attempting to obtain the necessary 'loot'.Our Hero, Ryan, does NOT win the space race but then that was not his intention to begin with, just developing the technology for his own reasons, which are revealed in book two.  The character development continues on as does the barely believable (but appropriate for this series) actions of some of the military/astronaut folks in the book.So, we have political shenanigans (that bring to mind our current administration, taken to extreme.. or not so extreme depending on your viewpoint), international intrigue and an external threat that could derail everything and destroy the planet to boot.Gotta love it.  Have already bought book three.
