About This Book

The story follows three men aboard an orbiting satellite who learn they will pass within feet of another satellite. They debate whether to alter course, balancing technical calculations against concern for national reputation and public perception, then suit up and prepare for the close encounter while considering improvised defenses. Tension arises from quiet procedural problem-solving, interpersonal dynamics, and the moral cost of refusing to yield under political pressure, as the passage forces them to confront risk, pride, and the responsibilities of those at the scene.
