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.
