Product Description
Ingram
NASA has a big problem. An astronaut has died horribly during a recent routine space shuttle flight. Space program veteran Santy Santich suspects a NASA cover-up, especially in the wake of several more unexplained deaths, but speaking out could cost him his place on the next shuttle. Now the countdown to liftoff has begun on a mission that could put Santich in orbit with a killer, thousands of miles above the Earth.

Eerie,
By A Customer
This review is from: Final Orbit (Mass Market Paperback)
I just read this book - in light of what happened to the shuttle Columbia, this is the basis for one heck of a conspiracy theory.Terrific book. I could not put it down.

Final Orbit marks solid debut for Date.,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Final Orbit (Mass Market Paperback)
If Final Orbit is any indication, S.V. Date has a nice future ahead as a fiction writer. The plot holds you all the way through, trying to figure out the mystery behind the astronaut's death in space and the rushed return of the space shuttle Atlantis. Date also makes you feel about the characters, especially Santiago Santich, the weatherbeaten astronaut whose final shot at glory could cost him everything. There's plenty of story here, and the attention to the technical details shows that Date knows his stuff. Final Orbit is well-written and well-paced, and definitely deserves to be read...

Excellent first novel,
By Edward Alexander Gerster "miamibooks" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Final Orbit (Mass Market Paperback)
I used to read S.D. Date's coverage of NASA in the Orlando Sentinel, so I was interested to see how well his work translated into a work of fiction. I picked up the book in the early afternoon, and didn't put it down until I finished it -- need I say more? A real page turner filled with plot twists and surprises enough to keep you jumping. Well paced, nice characterizations and a fine read. Highly recommended!

Great plot, moves fast, and I couldn't put it down!,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Final Orbit (Mass Market Paperback)
Relies on a strong plot. No graphic violence, little gratuitous sex. You might suspect "who done it" but "how he did it" will really surprise. All my sci-fi loving friends liked it too.
