Tony and Mason investigate the death of a U.S. senator. The senator died with undigested chicken in his stomach. He was also over NASA funding. Following this lead, Tony and Mason take a trip to a telescope in the Arctic Circle, but when they get there, a Russian-speaking saboteur attacks and blows up installation. Tony and Mason just barely escape with their lives.
Publisher’s description
A senator with bloodstream full of drugs and a belly full of chicken is stone dead in the morgue, and the trail leads back all the way the Arctic, to a joint U.S./Russian space observatory that has been singularly focused on a single, distant, Earth-like planet. Tony Chu and his partner are about to discover whatever secret this planet holds does not compare to those being kept by the astronomers.
