Publisher Description

Captain James Holland is the pilot on a routine flight from Frankfurt to New York, packed with people eager to be home for Christmas. When a passenger collapses from what appears to be a heart attack, Holland is forced to request an emergency landing at London's Heathrow Airport. But to his great surprise, the air traffic controllers will not let him land in England—they tell Holland that his sick passenger has contracted a dangerous new form of influenza and that the plane must return to Germany.

But when German officials also refuse the landing, and other European countries follow suit, Holland begins to suspect that he's in much more trouble than anyone's letting on. In fact, his sick passenger is carrying a deadly virus accidentally released from a Bavarian laboratory, and it is feared that everyone on board is now infected. At the same time, someone with access to the CIA's computers wants to shoot the plane out of the sky, and there is a United States ambassador on board with powerful terrorist enemies who want to see him dead. While the panic on the ground spreads from the White House Situation Room to a small airport in the Ukrainian Republic, Captain Holland has only one concern: Where and when can he land?

"I enjoyed reading this book - it was quite a page-turner! I was so mad that nobody would help them and nobody was disclosing the truth! It was a catch 22 though! Risk involved but someone needed to step up and help. I was so glad the captian of the plane finally stood his ground and landed!!"

  • Overall Performance: 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5

    " As a lover of aviation books I was thrilled to find Nance. He writes about flying like Clancy writes about naval concerns. This "what if" book is a cautionary tale for anyone who flies internationally. "

    " Excellent, excellent thriller. Especially creepy today, what with the bioterror risk and the potential of various influenzas and whatnot to cross continents via aircraft. "

  • Overall Performance: 2 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 5

    " Interesting plot of a virus on a plane, and no one allowing it to land, but that's about it. Not really great writing, and the characters were just blah. Of course, I don't really remember much about the book, so who knows. Obviously it wasn't great. "

    " I almost stopped reading this halfway through, since all seemed very predictable at that point. I'm glad I didn't since the suspense was just about to start. It turned into a pretty decent suspense novel. "

    " This was one of those books I read when I had time to block out distractions. Nance has an impressive background that shines through in his writing. This is a clean, engaging book I would feel comfortable in recommending. "

    " i loved this book, althought I would give it a PG-13 rating because of the graphicness of it and how scary it can be. "

  • Overall Performance: 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5

    " I was glad that I read the book before watching the moving. They left so much out in the first half that it made it hard to follow. The book was hard at times to put down because I wanted to find out what happened next. I wish John Nance would write more like this one. It was my favorite. "

    — Kathy, 8/18/2013
  • Overall Performance: 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5

    " I had fun reading this book. It had many twist & turns, most of which were fairly predictable. This is why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. Nance is a pro when it comes to aviation and it shows throughout this book. "

  • Overall Performance: 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5

    " Do not read this if you are flying or about to fly. John Nance's description of the possibilities of contaminates on board a plane are enough to make you want to avoid mass transportation! Wonderful, scary, intense reading! Typical for Nance! "

  • Overall Performance: 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5

    " Non-stop action from the first page. Clearly one of Nance's best. Accurate depiction of the clear and present danger of a potentially deadly virus being spread worldwide due to the ubiquitous nature of air travel. A genuine page turner! "

    " For some reason I really enjoy books about commercial airplanes in trouble and Nance is the best. He puts you in the pilots seat without overloading you with details or "techno jargon". A suspenseful and terrifying story; I loved it. "

    " I didn't like it very much.During the first part, the author spent so many pages talking about the disease, and repeats the same story over and over again, it's hard to keep reading. It gets a little bit better after that . He uses the word "nodding" a thousand times, it's very annoying "
