Author(s): Steve Worland

Australian Fiction

Set in Cape Canaveral and Central Australia, Velocity takes us deep inside the world of NASA and international terrorism. It features a cast of instantly compelling characters - including an astronaut hero, a heroine in deep peril and an ill-assorted group of criminals who hijack a shuttle right off its launching pad - and is based on certain real-life events. Steve Worland's years of experience in writing for film and TV are clearly evident in this gripping, cinematic and hugely entertaining read. He is a genuine reader of action-adventure novels and committed to becoming a successful author in the genre.
