Orbit by John J Nance

The year is 2009. For Kip Dawson, winning a passenger seat on American Space Adventure's spacecraft is a dream come true. But the thrill of the successful launch turns to terror when a micrometeorite penetrates the capsule, leaving the radios as dead as the pilot. With nothing to do but wait for his doomed fate, Kip writes his epitaph on the ship's laptop computer, unaware that an audience of millions is tracking his every word on the Internet. As a massive struggle gets under way to rescue him, Kip has no idea that his heroism in the face of death may sabotage his best chance of survival.
John Nance, aviation analyst for ABC News and a familiar face on Good Morning America, is also a veteran Boeing 737 captain, a decorated Air Force pilot veteran, and a Lieutenant Colonel in the USAF Reserve. He is the author of seventeen books, including PANDORA'S CLOCK (Pan) and MEDUSA'S CHILD (Pan), which were both made into major television miniseries.
