Synopsis

The passengers of Meridian Flight 6—delayed for hours and mistreated by rude and inept airline personnel—have been pushed to the edge. When Captain Phil Knight makes a forced emergency landing in war-torn Nigeria, abandoning his co-pilot to certain death, violence erupts inside the airplane as the enraged passengers attempt the first-ever commercial airline mutiny.But what they don't know could kill them: The unscheduled loss of radio contact has led NATO and the CIA to believe they have been hijacked by terrorists and must be carrying a deadly chemical weapon into the heart of Western Europe. In the pressurized last moments as Flight 6 approaches, NATO scrambles to uncover the truth about the plane's cargo, while Navy pilots bring the 747 into their gun sights and the lives of innocent passengers hang in the balance.

Goodreads review by Paul on December 23, 2023

I have read a number of John Nance novels since discovering him rather belatedly this year. This one was both enjoyable and incredibly frustrating and annoying at the same time. The plot is decent and it builds well towards its (fairly predictable) finale. Many loose ends were then tied up in a long......more

Goodreads review by Mcf1nder_sk on January 22, 2018

This book is centered on the all-too-common issue of air rage, when passengers finally get pushed past the breaking point by airline personnel who treat them like cattle.
