Description
Nukes threaten the world. International conflict propels into space. With one chance to cripple a deadly secret, will a lone astronaut survive?
1962. Jim Cobb fights for America’s freedom. After losing his father in the opening shots of the Cold War, the elite Navy pilot has made payback his life’s mission. So after blockading the delivery of Communist missiles in Cuba, the fervent flier eagerly accepts an invitation from NASA to train to combat the Reds in space.
Learning the iron curtain is hiding a covert project in orbit, Jim is determined to find and destroy the machine before Earth burns in a nuclear hell. But love tears at his focus as his pacifist wife and a close ally oppose his lonely crusade… and he tries to accept that his duty may be a one-way ticket.
Can Jim triumph in the conquest of the skies or will he perish, forever frozen in a desolate enemy grave?
Liberty One is an epic Space Race thriller. If you like heart-stopping action, dashes of romance, and edge-of-your-seat battles in and out of the atmosphere, then you’ll enjoy Bobby Mehdwan’s page-turning return to the Red Scare.
Advance Praise
"""Loved it! Equal parts thrilling and provocative, this unusual novel takes the reader back to a time of high anxiety, confusion, and adversity. I highly recommend this work for those who enjoy historical fiction, military, suspense or techno thrillers. This is also for those who simply love the era when everyone knew all the astronaut's names and dropped what they were doing to watch a launch, spacewalk, or splash down."" Discovery Editorial.

Ok, I am not really sure why I wanted to read this book. I never really read sci-fi unless I am asked to do so by an author. BUT this one was awesome. I was impressed with the authors writing ability and how well developed the characters are. The descriptive nature was awesome. You could totally picture everything in your mind. Overall, this is a great sci fi space tour de force.
