Fallen Angel: A Novel

Major Jeff Struecker (a real life Black Hawk Down veteran) and his award-winning coauthor, tell a space-based intelligence story of intense extremes in their new novel, Fallen Angel , named for the "Angel-12" American satellite that is ambushed by China and falls 22,000 miles to land in remote Siberia. U.S. Sgt. Major Eric Moyer and his Special Ops unit are deployed to find Angel-12 and keep its advanced nuclear fuel from enemy hands-and there are many. A Russian shadow government bent on restoring the former USSR pursues the satellite as does the Chinese special forces group that knocked it from the sky. A rash of military and domestic hostage concerns ensues as the stark truth looms: three nations are racing to the satellite, but only one will get there first. When a Chinese Special Forces group targets Angel-12, an American intelligence satellite containing top secret intelligence technolgy, the ensuing 22,000-mile freefall lnads the bus-sized device somewhere in remote Siberia. Not far away, a Russian shadow government has captured the team of U.S. airmen sent to find it. With the stakes rising, U.S. Sgt. Major Eric Moyer and his Special Ops unit are deployed to secure the satellite and save their fellow servicemen. But when the hostage cirsis takes a domestic turn, what constitutes winning in their most pressing and dangerous mission yet could lead to Moyer's most personal defeat--p. 4 of cover.
