Air Force One, on a flight from the Middle East, carrying the Vice President, crashes into a North Carolina hillside. Everyone aboard has been dead for hours before the crash, struck down by a virus of totally unknown origin. The threat is immediate, blunt, and terrifying. Here is a weapon that relies on no high-tech delivery system-a weapon that is potentially more dangerous than a thousand neutron bombs...

Review:
Former President George Bush plays a small but pivotal role in this latest military/techno-thriller from Chris Stewart, a major in the U.S. Air Force whose flying expertise gave his debut thriller, Shattered Bone, a fresh blast of credibility and verisimilitude. Onboard Air Force One for an important ambassadorial mission, Bush is killed in the book's first few pages by a biological agent released into the air by Iraqi terrorists working for Saddam Hussein's even more dangerous son, Odai.
About the Author:
Fearing that Junior is ready to gas the rest of the Washington establishment plus a large number of America's ordinary citizens, the government sends in a crack commando team to make sure the son doesn't rise to the occasion. There's also a boatload of top-secret electronic gadgetry (explained so well that even us techno-dummies can understand how they work), a touching young female spy who goes a long way toward humanizing the Iraqi villains, and enough in-flight action to satisfy the keenest video-game addicts. --Dick Adler
Chris Stewart is a major in the U.S. Air Force, and a world record-setting B-1 bomber pilot. He lives in Mountain Home, Idaho.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: Very Good. 304 pages. Air Force One is down, the vice-president is dead, and he's going to be only the first. As the great plane lies str ewn over the North Carolina crash-site, the aftershocks are being felt way beyond that sleepy hillside. For - as the investigators soon discover - it was a ghost-plane. Everyone on board had been dead for hours before it struck the earth - dead from terrifying new virus. A virus with no cure, no protection - a virus that co uld wipe out the West. It quickly emerges that a senior element of the Iraqi leadership is involved, and a desperate plan is hat ched to stop this man before it is too late. A young, expatriate Arab girl must infiltrate the dissident country and locate the ma stermind, whilst an F15 pilot must fly in behind her, under the I raqi guns and missiles, and fire upon a microscopic target. Failu re is not an option. The timer is ticking. The virus has been p lanted and there's only two people who can stop it. Seller Inventory # 1285d
