New book Deadly Satellites is Thought Provoking and Full of Action

May 23, 2005 -- Deadly Satellites by E. L. Crenshaw (Publisher: Bedside Books; ISBN: 1589822161) is one of the most suspenseful and thrilling books recently written. Straight from newspaper headlines, Crenshaw has written a thought-provoking story that is full of action and is as strong, if not stronger, than many of the military thrillers on the best-seller list. This book has the "Right Stuff!"

In a recent interview, when asked what inspired "Deadly Satellites" Mr. Crenshaw responded, "When President Reagan started funding and research for the SDI program, although there were several ideas nothing became of it. I asked myself, what if a program was developed in secrecy, and I went from there."

"Deadly Satellites" takes this strong plot idea and then adds more fuel to the engine by introducing many questions and "what if's." What if High Tech Weapon Systems, without the proper Security somehow landed in the wrong hands Could they be used for the wrong purposes In "Deadly Satellites," Professor Luke Curtis is just about to become a national hero. The three laser-equipped satellites he developed to guard and defend against enemy missile attacks are getting ready to be put to the ultimate test. The entire project is jeopardized, however when Professor Curtis mysteriously disappears. General Leland Burke, head of project security, will stop at nothing to find out who is behind the conspiracy. To worsen the situation, all computer systems malfunction during the official launch, and the satellites start to target and destroy any commercial jetliner within range. "Deadly Satellites" is an unforgettable story that could be fiction today and a news headline tomorrow.

Author E. L. Crenshaw has spent over three decades as an Aviation Electronic Technician with two different airlines, and he spent four years in the US Marines. "Deadly Satellites" has the bark and the bite. The author says, "As an Aviation Technician with a major airline I was able to bring out the insider and technical aspects of aircraft systems. I also contacted several ex-astronauts, did tons of library research..."

"Deadly Satellites" is a thriller that is written from the perspective of an author who has walked the walk. This author not only delivers the goods in plot and setting, but you are in the hands of someone who understands the plot and setting from a realistic point of view. "Deadly Satellites" will entertain everyone and raise many questions for many water coolors all over the world; but most of all the author hopes his book will get people excited and involved in the space program. "Deadly Satellites" is dedicated in part to the Columbia space shuttle crew. Mr. Crenshaw is an author who will be admired for his literary contributions to space and fiction. "Deadly Satellites" should launch Mr. Crenshaw's writing career faster than any NASA rocket!
