About this ebook
In the skies above Europe, a Boeing 737 jets toward an unknown destination. On board is John Harris—a fugitive from justice. Charged by an international accord of ordering the torture of hundreds of innocent people, he is the most wanted man in the world.
He is the former President of the United States.
The pilot, Captain Craig Dayton, realizes that a silent conspiracy against John Harris is taking shape, and that every moment the plane spends on the ground makes a target for his enemies—who have already condemned him for his crimes. Now, as both sides wage a war of words in the most powerful courts in the world, the only safe haven left is in the air...

This book will keep you on the edge of your seat! Never before have I thought that international law and avionics could go together into a novel like this! I would definitely recommend this novel for anyone interested in international politics and enjoy the thrill of being on an airplane, running away from a corrupt law intent on capturing a former president. The characters are well-developed and the plot is without a dull moment. The author leaves you with many cliffhangers after each chapter, which are all resolved neatly and fittingly at the end of the novel. A must-read for people who like suspense!

I love flight and detailed descriptions of flying. John Nance serves a marvelous blend of lots of air planes and a tight plot that keeps the pages turning. Please keep writing, Mr. Nance!
