Nudging Nyame

<p class=ql-align-justify><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>A near collision in space with a passing interstellar body changes an asteroid's orbit that will take it to possible Earth impact in less than a decade! Spacefaring nations urgently unite and decide design and deploy the means of deflection. Nuclear-thermal-rocket thrusters are landed on the asteroid to change its trajectory to nudge Nyame. A U.S. intelligence operative leads a small clandestine cell intent on changing the order of the world and takes advantage of this opportunity. They ingeniously hack the deep-space radio-linked control of the deflection system. In their hands the asteroid becomes a city-killing weapon of mass destruction. Regional panic follows suspicions rise cooperation thins. A brilliant Black astrophysicist attempts to thwart their plans with a 9-millimeter Glock. She fails. A Russian shakedown changes the threat in the final days to Earth impact.   </span></p><p><br></p>
