About this listen
The Outer Space Treaty prohibited nuclear, biological, or chemical weapons from being placed in or used from Earth’s orbit. What no one could imagine was that mankind would conceive of the simplest weapon ever deployed - one with extinction power - to launch from space. The military named this weapon “Rods from God". And yet, it is not nuclear, biological, or chemical. Two women drone pilots battle in outer space to defend their country from a rogue military element threatening to overthrow the government. One is a former fighter pilot who, after a crash, now flies from a wheelchair.

Beginning in the predawn hours of airports in the Northeast, we meet the ticket agents who unknowingly usher terrorists onto their flights, and the flight attendants inside the hijacked planes. In New York City, first responders confront a scene of unimaginable horror at the Twin Towers. From a secret bunker underneath the White House, officials watch for incoming planes on radar. Aboard the small number of unarmed fighter jets in the air, pilots make a pact to fly into a hijacked airliner if necessary to bring it down.

Tom's research supporting the twists and turns of this complex plot makes me feel like he lived the story - the detail is minute and thorough.
And besides, he uses my last name! Hennessy Cognac is sublime.
I love this book! The premise is awesome!

I've listened to 500+ titles (going back to the 1900's with Books on Tape) and this reader is as good as any I have ever heard. George Guidell, Frank Mueller, Arthur Morey - even Dick Estell (now you know how long I've been consuming Audible).
Now the story. I re-read one of the other reviews and I can't help think, GOSH, she's nitpicking. Is Tom Collins the next Vince Flynn? OK, maybe not. BUT Mark Rollins does remind me of Mitch Rapp :)
I like super detailed tech thrillers and Collins does a superb job of weaving in the interesting facts to support the plot. I like it when a book has the President of the United States as a character. As I write this in November of 2020, this book foreshadows the populist president questioning the validity of an election and even hinting at a military coup.
Collins could not have been more timely and spot on with his observations about the polar divide in the USA today.
I especially like authors who get better with every book. Based on other reviews, I can't wait for the next effort from Mr. Collins.
PS - Really? Tom Collins? Probably a pseudonym. Next you'll tell me his wife's name is Margarita!

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
My biggest issue with the book is that we are told and not shown so much of the story. Most of it takes place in one "situation room" or another. For example, in chapter 18 Rebecca is relaying all of her information gathering and intel on the X37B and its just being explained over the phone. It is a missed opportunity to show her potentially in action gathering intel, getting in sticky situations and getting out of them. But instead its just a phone call.
We also don't really get to know our two main characters all that intimately. We are told about them in a passive way and learn about their histories, but we never get any insight into how they think or what they feel. Nothing. Also....there was no need for the detailed inclusion of Rebecca's rape. It could have been mentioned, but I don't think the blow by blow was needed. Also, also, why did Rebecca get sidelined towards the later half of the novel? Sam kind of took over as the primary character and I'm not 100% sure why that is.
Additionally, while I understand this is part of the Mark Rollins universe I felt the addition of Mark Rollins into this story didn't really add anything. It would have been more interesting to see these two women tackle their problems together with perhaps Mark as a backup character, mentioned but not given much page time. I found his addition to be as unnecessary as the two mentions of him being a cancer survivor and working out.
Overall I just feel let down by a book that had so much promise.
