This review is from: Siege Of Lightning (Paperback)

This was the first book ever written by R.J. Pineiro and it is a good one.mIn this book the space shuttle Lightning is blasted into space for a mission. The European space agency named Athena
is attempting to sabotage the space ship. The Athena group has already blown up a Russian space ship. Athena is led by a businessman named Vanderhoff. Vanderhoff has bribed officials of the CIA as well as the French military.The hero of the novel is
named Cameron Stone.Several assassination attempts are made on his life. The book also features a commando raid on an Athena
rocket site. This is a very exciting book that I enjoyed reading.
It is excellent like the rest of R.J. Pineiro's books. I have never read a bad R.J. Pineiro book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Space Shuttle Techo-Thriller, February 11, 2003

This review is from: Siege Of Lightning (Paperback)

I wont reiterate the book summary, but have some personal comments.

I read this book about 9 yrs ago, a paperback I picked up
at the drug store check-out. The cover caught my eye.
A picture of the Space Shuttle, and the title "Siege of Lightning" (you guessed it, the Shuttle Name is Lightning)
I really enjoyed it and 'passed-it-on' as a reference for
other techo-thriller fans to read. Never got it back :-(
Couldnt find it at a bookstore for years.! I finally got a
beat up copy at a used book store for 50 cents, but will
cherish it.

I had read Payne Harrisons STORMING INTREPID a few years earlier,
another Space Shuttle Techo-Thriller; and just loved - loved - loved it, and this book is very similiar.

Techincal, lots of action, personable characters.

Give it a try, if you can find it.
