"Our military dependence on satellites makes the United States vulnerable to a 'Space Pearl Harbor' early in this century."

-Donald Rumsfeld

Well, I just finished a great book, The Devil's Halo, by Chris Fox.

Wow. Really good stuff. It was a fast paced techno-thriller featuring U.S v. Europe action. Spies, secret plans, military confrontation...tough to put down. A lot of research went into the writing and it shows. Don't be put off by thinking it's all gadgets and war machines, either (if that kind of thing puts you off), Fox has created some very memorable characters and dialog. It works.

And I'm not just saying that because the author sent me a copy. I swear. Great recreational reading. Here's the web site for the book again.
