Stealing the Sky is the captivating and suspenseful account of how in June of 1961 a female Russian born spy working for the CIA and a team of NASA engineers attempted the audacious act of stealing a Russian satellite while on public display in Soviet controlled Prague. Based upon a true story, Stealing the Sky takes you behind the closed doors of Washington’s most notable power brokers and pulls back the curtain on a world of intrigue rarely documented in textbooks. The twelve hours unveiled in Stealing the Sky changed the American-Soviet space race forever and helped to put Americans on the Moon before our Soviet counterparts. Most recorded history is only half the story those with secrets are willing to share. This is the other half of the story. About the Author Dan is best known for his thirty-four years on national television as a trusted and respected face of one of America’s most successful Cable Television Networks. His passion for history is only equaled by his desire to tell those stories textbooks tend to overlook. Stealing The Sky is his debut novel.
