Austin Peay State University Sponsors Best-selling Alumna Author

Sept. 24, 2009 - PRLog -- Huntsville, AL  -- Best-selling author Stephanie Osborn will be appearing at Austin Peay State University in Clarksville, TN to discuss and sign copies of her five-star techno-thriller novel, Burnout: the mystery of Space Shuttle STS-281. She will be available for signing and questions from 2:00-4:00 pm at the Sundquist Science Center, and from 5:00-7:00pm at the Pace Alumni Center, on Friday, 25 September. Copies of the book will be available.

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 hear the inside story of the space program, and get a signed copy of Burnout!
