Pikes Peak Regional History Lecture Series -Bill Scott, Author of Counterspace - Space Wars & Counterspace - $5 suggested donation

When terrorists disable dozens of satellites, a technologically blind, deaf and mute America is pushed to the brink of nuclear war. (Fiction) Author Bill Scott, former Rocky Mountain Bureau Chief for Aviation Week & Space Technology magazine, and coauthor Mike Coumatos, a retired Navy test pilot, war gaming expert and ship’s commander, will discuss how they employed the power of fiction to make citizens and U.S. leaders aware of a critical threat to America’s security. Via two gripping, bestseller novels, Space Wars: The First Six Hours of World War III and a sequel, Counterspace: The Next Hours of World War III, they depicted how lives would change, if terrorists crippled the nation’s high-tech space infrastructure, by destroying U.S. satellites. Book sale and signing to follow. Please RSVP at 719-385-5990 or online. $5 Suggested Donation, Free for members.
