An upcoming book may feature this scenario:
A weapon has been developed which can kill satellites from the ground. Terrorists start knocking off satellites, and will destroy the ISS unless their demands are met.
The device is like a pulsed laser (think photon torpedo).
Remember, this is fiction, but the two problems I see
1. Energy consumption
2. Hitting the target (the beam spreads out a bit)
Thoughts?
