Synopsis

An extraordinary mixture of white knuckle suspense and scientific research, the hallmark of the outstanding Michael Crichton. The twin jet plane en route to Denver from Hong Kong is merely a green radar blip half an hour off the California coast when the pilot comes through to air traffic control saying that they had an emergency and requesting priority clearance to land. Then comes the bombshell - he needs forty ambulances on the runway. But nothing prepares the rescue workers for the carnage they witness when they enter the plane - ninety-four passengers are injured, three are dead, and the interior cabin is virtually destroyed. What happened on board Flight TPA 545?

About this title

Review

Cruising 35,000 feet above the earth, a twin-engine commercial jet encounters an accident that leaves 3 dead, 56 wounded, and the cabin in shambles. What happened? With a multi-billion-dollar company-saving deal on the line, Casey Singleton is sent by her hard-driving boss to uncover the mysterious circumstances that led to the disaster before more people die. But someone doesn't want her to find the truth. Airframe bristles with authentic information, technical jargon, and the command of detail Crichton's readers have come to expect.
