About the Book

Jumping from orbit using little more than a spacesuit and a re-entry pack! "The Daedalus Files are four science fiction stories that blend the boundaries of fact and fiction as seamlessly as the late master, Michael Crichton. They're the type of story that leaves you asking questions and discussing with your coworkers in the break room." - Dr. Dave Edlund, USA Today Bestselling Author, The Peter Savage Thrillers Set in the world of Slingshot, Navy SEAL Derek "Tiger" Baily and his SEALS Winged Insertion Command develop the experimental Gryphon hardshell wingsuit from the initial version 7 to the enhanced Gryphon-10 MK 4. Tiger makes a basejump from Slingshot, 80 klicks up, and finally, the team drops from LEO-Low Earth Orbit. Eventually, when the presidential front-runner is seized by pirates for ransom, Baily's 6-man SWIC team must hurtle around the world, staging critical re-entry for a rescue, challenged to solve life-or-death problems with only seconds to spare. Can they survive? Will they effect the rescue? Join Tiger Baily as he and his SWIC team work to perfect the Gryphon and then employ it in combat.

About the Author :
Dr. Robert G. Williscroft is a retired submarine officer, deep-sea and saturation diver, scientist, author, and a lifelong adventurer. He spent twenty-two months underwater, a year in the equatorial Pacific, three years in the Arctic ice pack, and a year at the Geographic South Pole. He holds degrees in Marine Physics and Meteorology and a doctorate for developing a system to protect scuba divers in contaminated water. A prolific author of both non-fiction, submarine technothrillers, and hard science fiction, he lives in Centennial, Colorado.

Review :
Williscroft's usual attention to technical detail and firsthand experience with military ops pays off in these wild tales set in the world of his Slingshot, about the first wingsuit jump from a launch loop, then from LEO, followed by a squad of jumpers, and finally, their jump into live combat. The idea of jumping from orbit using little more than a spacesuit and a re-entry pack goes back at least to Heinlein's Starship Troopers, and I've used it myself, but Williscroft puts a new twist on it as Navy SEAL "Tiger" Baily makes the jump first from 80 km and then LEO. Another fun ride, if your idea of fun includes death-defying action. The test and training runs are over; now it's time for the SWIC to see real action. . . . -- Alastair Mayer, Author of The T-Space Series
