Lori Garver is a self-proclaimed 'space pirate, ' who took on NASA, the aerospace industry, and even members of Congress, as part of a tumultuous groundswell that helped launch the modern commercial space industry. Told without fear or favor, her compelling tale transcends the space industry and shows us, from the inside, how Washington works--who wins, who loses and who bears the scars. -- Christian Davenport, Washington Post space reporter and author of The Space Barons
