Don Pendleton Splintered Sky (Stony Man)
Gold Eagle 0373619812 / 9780373619818 MASS MARKET PAPERBACK Very Good
0373619812 Editorial Reviews n nProduct Description nAmerica's elite defense unit works under the radar and outside the law to stop terror before it hits America's streets. But with each new crisis, Stony Man's cyberwizards understand that the new battlefield is deep space. Someday, a superweapon may be impossible to stop. With luck, that day won't come, thanks to Stony Man's field teams bringing the fight to the enemy, face-to-face.... n nAn invisible enemy plots to launch a dirty bomb from orbit, exposing vulnerable cities to hard radiation. Intel points to a multinational terror force bent on controlling the skies over the free world. Suddenly the Farm is on a hunt for a threat that could shake the entire planet. From deep-cover penetration of hostile Red China to an emergency rescue flight to save the International Space Station, the covert commandos are pushed to the limit, especially when they have to prevent a suicide crash of a knockoff shuttle into New York City-a collision that would turn the city into a smoking crater. n nExcerpt. ? Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved. nTen miles north of the U.S.-Mexico border n nHermann Schwarz watched the stars sprayed across the black night as Jack Grimaldi piloted the Hughes 500 NOTAR across the Texan sky. The inky-black background with the glittering field of pinpoints reminded the Able Team electronics genius of one of his lifelong dreams-to soar among the stars. And he had been one of the lucky few who had done just that. n nSchwarz's other lifelong dream was more pedestrian. He wanted to help people. Though he was one-third of one of the world's most highly experienced and blooded combat teams, the ultimate goal of Able Team wasn't to engage in bloodshed. It was to protect the citizens of the U.S. Schwarz had been called an assassin by various enemies, but the term "assassin" implied a callous disregard for human life. Certainly, he had a measure of ruthlessness, but it was only displayed against opponents who were demonstrably hostile and violent. While he had no qualms about shooting heavily armed men in the back to end their potential to harm himself, his partners or noncombatants, Schwarz was not murderous. n nKilling was just an aspect of his job, just as much as tinkering on new electronic surveillance devices and security countermeasures. Schwarz turned from the starry night sky back to his Combat Personal Data Assistant, a compact little computer that provided the gadgeteer with a suite of powerful tools to make his work easier. He kept the illumination low on the monitor as he scanned the screen. Its powerful satellite modem, akin to the satellite phones, allowed him Internet access even without a WiFi source for miles around, even though a backup transceiver would allow him to piggyback on someone else's modem if necessary. The CPDA was connected to Stony Man Farm, thousands of miles away in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, allowing him to be plugged into the network run by Aaron Kurtzman and the cyberwizards of his team. n n"Hey, Nerd Man." Carl Lyons spoke up, interrupting Schwarz's reveries. "You getting this?" n n"I am," Rosario Blancanales announced, answering for his friend. He had a pair of light amplification binoculars scanning out the window. "To the north." n n"Minimal profile on the terrain radar," Lyons answered. Sitting shotgun in the Little Bird helicopter, his hard blue eyes scanned the screens devoted to the Forward Looking Infrared-FLIR-and Terrain Looking Radar, both keen electronic sensors installed in a bulbous nose projecting from the front of the helicopter's teardrop shape, lending it the appearance of a porpoise whose snout had been punched off center. "But we've got headlights on the FLIR." n n"Low-light headlights," Blancanales said. "Probably Ultraviolet or IR illumination to make it easier for them to run dark. I didn't see the vehicles directly, but I saw the ground lit up." n nSchwarz looked to where Blancanales was sweeping the horizon. He ran his stylus over the CPDA, popping open a window that displayed a satellite view of their immediate surrou
