Condizione: Good. Skyhook is a top-secret, high-tech computer program designed to save planes in trouble. But when a test flight goes awry over the Gulf of Alaska, Ben Cole, the brains behind the experiment, finds another kind of trouble as he searches for the suspected saboteur.   Meanwhile, April Rosen takes off on her own investigation--to exonerate her father, whose own plane narrowly escaped a midair collision over the same patch of sea.   Now, both of them are in Washington, up against the shadowy forces of a government whose intentions seem far less than honorable. And when their paths cross, the quest to discover Skyhook's real purpose, and real dangers, will unite them in a dangerous fight for the truth. …

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. The year is 2009. For Kip Dawson, winning a passenger seat on American Space Adventure's first commercial spaceflight is a dream come true. One grand shot of insanity and he can return to earth fulfilled. It's a bittersweet moment of triumph, however, muted by his wife's terror over his accepting the prize. The day of the launch, Kip tries to reconcile his wife's and daughters' fears and even tries calling his estranged son, to no avail. He sets off, vowing to make amends upon his return. But a successful launch quickly morphs into chaos when a micrometeor punches through the wall of the spacecraft, leaving the radios as dead as the pilot. In the blink of an eye, Kip Dawson is truly alone and has no way of navigating the ship home. With nothing to do but wait for his fate, Kip writes his epitaph on the ship's laptop computer, unaware that an audience of millions has discovered it and is tracking his every word on the Internet. As a massive struggle gets under way to rescue him, Kip has no idea that the world can hear his cries - or that his heroism in the face of death may sabotage his best chance of survival.…

Condizione: Very Good. 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.…
