Kyle told me he was the one unable to conceive, not me, and now I'm pregnant with Neil Crimson's baby because I skipped the contraceptives...because I assumed I didn't need it. The father of my child has already launched for Mars—leaving the two of us behind.

It was the worst day of my life. The doctor walked in, told me the horrible news, and then my husband asked for a divorce two weeks later. Six months have passed and I'm in a much better place, but I'm pretty sure I'll never really get over it . . . Then my best friend introduces me to her brother-in-law, Neil Crimson, the world's most famous astronaut. He's just returned from a voyage to the moon where he's overseeing their new Lunar Labs project—and he's smokin' hot. Against my will, she sets me up on a date with him—and he actually says yes.

Lisa Nowak had driven 900 miles from Houston to Orlando to intercept and confront her romantic rival in an airport parking lot. The "astronaut love triangle" scandal quickly made headlines. The world watched as Nowak was dismissed from NASA, pleaded guilty to a felony, and received an "other than honorable" military discharge. Investigative reporter Kimberly Moore offers behind-the-scenes insights into Nowak's childhood, her rigorous training, and her mission to space. Moore ventures inside the mind of the detective who studied the actions Nowak took that fateful February night. 

Lisa Nowak, högt ansedd astronaut, sätter sig i sin bil, spänner upp ögonen och kör sträckan Houston till Orlando. Fjorton timmar senare, knappt utan mat eller toalettstopp, är hon framme, beredd att göra upp med kvinnan som i hennes ögon står i vägen för hennes och kollegan Bill Oefeleins eviga kärlek. En snabb titt ner i hennes bagage ger sken om illabådande intentioner: förutom kontanter kan man hitta en hammare, en fällkniv, latexhandskar och Colleen Shipmans, den romantiska rivalen, adress nedklottrat.
