New, never read, copy. Signed by author on title page. Dust jacket protected in new Brodart. ; Jacket Design; 7 " - 9 " Tall; 308 pages; "It's 1941, and Wernher von Braun is ordered by his Fhrer to abandon the V-2 rocket and turn German resources in a daring new direction: construction of a manned orbital spacecraft capable of attacking the United States. Work on the rocket--called Silbervogel--begins at Peenemnde. Though the plan is top secret, British intelligence discovers it and brings word to Franklin Rossevelt. The American president determines that there is only one logical response. The United States must build a spacecraft with the ability to intercept Silbervogel and destroy it. Robert Goddard, inventor of the liquid-fuel rocket, agrees to head the classified project. So begins a race against time between two secret military programs and two brilliant scientists whose high-stakes competition will spiral into a deadly game of political intrigue and unforeseen catastrophes played to the death in the brutal skies above America.
