Summary
  • A la veille d'une mission spatiale top-secret, la capitaine Calli Chase détecte une alarme dans le tunnel d'un des centres de recherche de la NASA. Spécialiste en mécanique quantique et enquêtrice en cybercriminalité, Calli sait que l'approche imminente d'une tempête avec le shutdown décidé par le gouvernement créent des conditions idéales pour un sabotage. Le danger dépasse toutes ses craintes. Des indices troublants indiquent que Carmé, sa soeur jumelle, portée disparue depuis plusieurs jours, est liée à cet incident. Alors que le compte à rebours est lancé, Calli prend conscience qu'en cas d'échec la catastrophe sera terrible pour le programme spatial et pour la sécurité de la nation tout entière
  • On the eve of a top secret space mission, Captain Calli Chase detects a tripped alarm in the tunnels deep below a NASA research center. A NASA pilot, quantum physicist, and cybercrime investigator, Calli knows that a looming blizzard and government shutdown could provide the perfect cover for sabotage, with deadly consequences. The danger is worse than she thought. A spatter of dried blood, a missing security badge, a suspicious suicide-- a series of disturbing clues point to Calli's twin sister, Carme, who's been Missing in action for days. Desperate to halt the countdown to disaster and to clear her sister's name, Captain Chase digs deep into her vast cyber security knowledge and her painful past, probing for answers to her twin's erratic conduct. As time is running out, she realizes that failure means catastrophe, not just for the space program but for the safety of the whole nation
