More DescriptionGail Travis and Donna O'Keefe, now working for Interpol, are tasked with investigating a possible terrorist attack that destroyed POLO One, the flagship of the Pacific Ocean Launch Organization, while launching a television satellite on the Equator. The ship and its floating launch platform are destroyed, all but one of its 254 launch technicians killed. But the rocket is launched by the attackers, and despite being done incorrectly, it is inexplicably successful enough to deploy its payload into space, though seemingly into an unsustainable orbit which has it 'drifting' northward four degrees per day.Gail learns that the launch's success may not have been an accident, and it may not be a television satellite that is about to pass over Hawaii. Donna discovers that the attack may have been facilitated by the head of the CIA's Pacific Rim Sector and coordinated by the Chinese. Isolated on Christmas Island, Gail and Donna may find this enemy far too powerful to stop.
