Action thriller with an aviation setting.
America’s security may depend on a young flight instructor from rural south Texas. Kyle Bennett’s charter flight disappears without a trace, along with a female student and the charter passenger. The mysterious disappearance cannot be solved despite the best efforts of the Civil Air Patrol, the Coast Guard, and the FAA.
An independent aviation consultant is hired to assist, and her investigation merges with that of the DEA and Tri Con Airline’s security department, who are battling the flow of drugs into the US from Mexico. When a Tri Con captain, Bud Gibson, and one of the airline’s mechanics, Matt Pierce, go missing, it’s suspected that more than drug smuggling is involved.
A conspiracy to complete the 9-11 attack is underway and the terrorist are sure they can defeat all of America’s security measures. Only Kyle, Bud and Matt stand in their way.
Excerpt
Soaring seagulls, and the little red and white Cessna, were the only
things moving in the blue skies of south Texas. The seagulls were not likely to crash. The airplane, like the birds, seemed to change direction every few minutes to loiter in the same area. A casual observer would have concluded that the pilot was lost or searching for something yet unfound.
When the aircraft’s engine increased to full power and the nose pitched up, it appeared to be on its way to whatever destination had been
originally planned. The airplane’s propeller labored at maximum RPM, but
the forward progress continued to decrease as the nose went higher. The
Cessna seemed to be suspended in mid-air, like an apple above Newton’s
head, as the speed became dangerously slow and the wings struggled to
maintain lift.
Suddenly the airplane rolled sharply to the left and the nose fell forward to begin an uncontrolled dive at the earth. The pilot had obviously demanded more from the machine than it was capable of producing and the lack of judgment would now be rewarded by the inevitable and unforgiving law of gravity. The two people sitting side by side in the Cessna were now less than two thousand feet and precious moments from certain disaster. The woman in the left seat fought the controls as the windshield view filled
with spinning Texas landscape. She hung in her shoulder harness and felt
the sickening sensation of weightlessness as the airplane plummeted. Her adrenalin charged brain issued commands that her insubordinate hands and feet ignored.
