Author Stephanie Osborn To Appear at Space Defense Conference

PRLog (Press Release) - Aug 01, 2009 -
HUNTSVILLE, AL - Best-selling science fiction mystery author Stephanie Osborn, writer of techno-thriller Burnout: The mystery of Space Shuttle STS-281 and best-seller The Y Factor, will hold a booksigning at the twelfth annual Space and Missile Defense Conference & Exhibition on August 17 - 20, 2009 at the Von Braun Center in Huntsville, Alabama.

Her signings on the 17th and 18th will be for the techno-thriller novel Burnout. Burnout is a fast-paced cliffhanger of a novel in the best tradition of Martin Caidin or Michael Crichton, about a fictional Space Shuttle disaster which turns out to be no accident.

As the principal investigators - "Crash" Murphy, former flight director and re-entry expert, and Dr. Michael C. Anders, astronomer - dig deeper, they discover the signs of something unusual - and as they do, friends, lovers, and colleagues involved in the investigation begin to die in mysterious “accidents.” They find themselves on the run, searching for answers, wondering who they can - and can’t - trust, in a game of cat and mouse that spans more than one continent, and may span more than one planet.

What happened to the Shuttle?

Who is responsible and why?

Why is the government calling it an accident?

Why is someone willing to kill to keep it a secret?

And just how big is the conspiracy?

The answers can be found in the pages of Burnout: The mystery of Space Shuttle STS-281.

Come and see the latest in space research, and get a signed copy of Burnout!

"Stephanie Osborn uses her background and her skills to make this the most believable Sci-Fi I have ever read. She is right up there with Jules Verne..."
~~Yvonne Mason, author of Silent Scream and Brilliant Insanity

"If you’re a fan of hardcore science fiction, and I’m not talking Star Wars or Star Trek, but a story that looks at space travel and the science in a realistic sense wrapped around a mysterious and fantastic plot, then this is the book for you.  Burnout: The Mystery of Space Shuttle STS-281 is about as realistic as you can get..."
~~Ethan Nahte, writer for PopSyndicate and Dallas Examiner
