Twelve miles above the Pacific Ocean, a missile strikes the Trans Flight 52, a supersonic passenger jet bound for Japan. The flight crew is crippled or dead. Now, defying both nature and man, three survivors must achieve the impossible. Land the plane.
a very predictable read in outline, though well written and dramatic enough. A little too much suicide and religion for my liking, but for its sort it works well.
