Test Pilot's Daughter: Revenge....

Steve Ward

Romance, adventure, murder and revenge, Christina Matthews does it all. An obsessed fly-girl with the Right Stuff finds love in the oddest place, the cockpit.


A beautiful and brainy college student born with jet-fuel in her blood is haunted by a gripping family tragedy and the violent murder of her best friend. The only thing she truly fears is sleep. Tortured by nightmares, this test pilot’s daughter has to find a way to save her sanity. Mike Clark, call name Lazer and a real Top Gun, looks to be the best kind of therapy.

With dreams of becoming an Astronaut-Commander, Christina struggles through heart-stopping perils in the cockpit and crash-lands on a deserted island. Without hope for rescue, she concocts an oddball plan to get survivors back to civilization.

Risking her future at NASA, Christina decides to deliver on a promise to a dying friend and face her evil nemesis in the sky. Only by overcoming deep-seated fears can she exorcise her ghosts and pursue a lifelong dream of flying in space.

Will true love conquer Christina’s curse, or will she auger in?

Test Pilot’s Daughter: Revenge will give you the ride of your life.

 

Test Pilot's Daughter: Dead Re....

Steve Ward

The sequel to Revenge, Dead Reckoning follows Christina Matthews into space. Launched in NASA’s space shuttle, she finds herself in the middle of nuclear war.


With his invention of spacecraft docking technology and his work on laser guided weapons, Steve Ward is the only human alive capable of weaving this techno-aviation-thriller. Winner of innovation awards from NASA and the Department of Defense, Steve Ward spins an action packed adventure in the space shuttle. Real life scenes depict death-defying bravery in the cockpit and expose untold secrets of astronaut peril. Achieving Astronaut-Commander at the tender age of 29, Christina is pitted between a NASA conspiracy and a terrorist plot to bring the world’s greatest power to her knees. As she hopes to become the first astronaut on Mars, her dreams are interrupted by the tragic loss of her husband and a war with Iranian terrorists. Will space shuttle disaster, torture and mental calamity rein back the dreams of the greatest female pilot who ever lived? Or will true love conquer all? Michael Jacobs, a bright young astronaut helps Christina unravel a terrorist attack and fight a nuclear battle in orbit. Test Pilot’s Daughter: Dead Reckoning will launch you into space.

Mike -- What a gripping memoir from one who has been on both sides of the track, from redneck to philosopher. This spiritual trek has a lot to teach us all about our own walks in life. Fascinating links between Hinduism and Christianity! I read straight through five chapters without stopping. Th... view book

Alison, I read your opening chapter and you have a natural voice and a lot of talent. You write with a great deal of feeling and exercise all the senses. And it looks like you have a great story working here. The only thing I can see you need to work on is point of view. Way too many scene breaks. ... view book

Andrea, Wow, excellent writing, love the fast pace and climb into the mind style with dreams, fantasies and sensual enuindo all teasing the reader along chapter to chapter. The thought dialogue is well done and the dialogue is real and crisp. Read 10 chapters before I had to move on. Who's Frank... view book

Yusagi. Wow, this is something different and the writing is very good. Interesting the way you let the reader climb into the head of a down and out street person, Jenni, who is on the edge of insanity. The view from inside her head is chiling. I always wondered what it would be like to be a drugg... view book

Gabriel. Wow, we have some excellent writing here. Very imaginative tangent to the story with Starr talking to the Cloud and coming to Earth. Quite a contrast to the story of Truly who is drinking herself into depression in her new and not so friendly existence. Her character suffers very deep intr... view book
