About this book

Twelve miles above the Pacific Ocean, a missile strikes a jumbo passenger jet, incapacitating or killing the flight crew. Three survivors must then accomplish an extraordinary task: land the plane despite overwhelming odds. Written by Nelson DeMille and Thomas Block, Mayday follows these passengers as they confront both natural and human-made dangers in their attempt to survive.
