Produktbeschreibung

The hijacking of a Boeing 777 triggers an international crisis-and potential world war-in this pulse-pounding thriller from former Brigadier General Anthony J. Tata . . . The hijackers were some of the last passengers to board the plane. Three men in their twenties with close haircuts, tactical clothing, and small duffel bags, and a Chinese businessman in a $3,000 Zegna suit are suspects. Minutes before takeoff, the plane's newly minted air marshal-former military police non-commissioned officer Zara Sheridan on her first assignment-is scrambling to find the true identities of the late arrivals when she receives a disturbing alert from the regional office . . . An experimental fighter jet, the Hyperion X, has crashed near Sheridan's North Carolina home. One of the jet's senior engineers is on board Sheridan's flight, en route to Taiwan to close a multi-billion-dollar deal for Blackwood Aerospace. His presence is not a coincidence. But by the time Sheridan realizes who he is-and what's going to happen-it's too late . . . The plane is in the air. The hijack team takes over. The lives of 350 passengers and 14 crew members are at stake. As tensions rise and the violence escalates, Sheridan uncovers shocking information about the new weapons technology the hijackers are after-and how it could change the course of global events. In the wrong hands, it could trigger a third world war. And she's the only one who can stop it . . . Terrifying, tense, and all-too-possible, Brace for Impact delivers a masterfully crafted scenario ripped from tomorrow's headlines.
