The pictured item is it the challenge coin for the United States Air Force MQ-9 Reaper Drone, a remotely piloted aircraft system.

If you collect challenge coins you will want to add this MQ-9 Reaper to your collection. If you are not already a collector, this coin would be a could start. It weighs over two ounces with a 2 ¼ inch diameter.

MQ-9 Reaper is featured in my latest novel, Beyond Visual Range. In the new book, a modern day Dr. Strangelove is set to deploy a super non-nuclear weapon from space. Beyond Visual Range is-a frightening, plausible thriller that Foreword Clarion Review described as right out of today’s news when it gave the book four stars.

Enter the contest to win one of the five challenge coins (a $20.00 value), I am giving away this week.

In Beyond Visual range The Speaker of the house has scheduled a vote on a resolution to impeach the President of the United States. With exaggerated piety the Speaker decried, “The President has violated his oath of office. Among other crimes, he ignores the sovereignty of other nations, including our allies, using unmanned drones to assassinate their citizens without due process.”

In response to what they view as a legislative coup, a rogue military element threatens to break with 250 years of tradition and use military force to stop the impeachment.

Facing impeachment and an apparent unlawful insurrection among the ranks of the military, the President is unsure who he can trust. He turns to a Florida-based drone team, wheelchair bound Major Samantha Miller and her crewmate Airman Rebecca Armistead, to counter the military threat. Both crew members are from the Nashville, Tennessee area and have connections to Mark Rollins and team.

Unusual events and unexplained aerial phenomena, including the downing of Major Miller’s F-35 and the sabotage of her drone missions, focus attention on outer space. The X-37B, a remotely piloted spacecraft, has returned to Earth after spending a reported two years in space. Its mission is top secret. There is evidence that the military has lost control of the craft when it makes an unauthorized return to the heavens.

The battle moves to outer space. And in the end, our heroines must deal with an enemy Beyond Visual Range.
