"Counter-Space" picks up where its predecessor "Space Wars: The First Six Hours of World War III" leaves off. These are not science fiction books; rather, they are a penetrating analysis of what might happen if our satellites in space were attacked and disabled. The world has become more dependent on satellites for GPS, TV, and communication. If the nations of the world were weakened by the loss of their "eyes in the sky", what would the reaction be? What actions might take place because of incomplete or inaccurate intelligence? Compound the loss with terrorist actions or the paranoia of some nations and the premise for global war becomes all together more feasible.

A frightening look at what the future could hold. A highly recommended read - just be ready for some thought provoking scenarios!
