Storming Intrepid is the name of a 1988 novel by Payne Harrison. It is a Cold War era technothriller. The plot centers on the in-flight hijacking of the United States space shuttle Intrepid by a Soviet agent and the United States race to retrieve it before the Soviets can return it to earth. It was followed by a sequel Thunder of Erebus, focusing on a conflict in Antarctica; this novel differs in tone and characterization, suggesting the work of a ghost writer.
