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.”
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.

"Ms. Osborn’s experience as a seasoned veteran of the space program, as well as her love for astronomy and geology, showed through clearly in numerous portions of this novel. I opened the cover of Burnout in the morning and couldn’t put it down! This intriguing maze of plot twists, danger, intrigue and excitement would make an excellent movie. Six stars to this outstanding new writer."
~Ann B. Keller, Author of Crenellations:
"Burnout is a compelling, impossible to put down, first novel in the class of Skylark of Space or "Lifeline." ... It may perhaps be the most realistic view ever published in fiction about what happens behind the scenes at NASA."
~ Jim Woosley, Ph.D. physicist and Heinlein essayist
