    About this ebook

    After a short sightseeing trip to Cairo, Anthony Steele leaves the hotel and phones his wife in England on the way to the airport. He boards an Air Egypt Boeing at the same time as Captain Kominski passes through aircrew security and walks out to the aircraft. As the Captain nears the jet, a baggage handler hands him a parcel containing two Glock 9.mm pistols. Kominski joins the crew on the flight deck and asks the Captain if he can stay with them for the flight to Paris. Soon after take-off, Kominski shoots the Captain and takes control of the aircraft, which descends below radar and heads for a disused airfield near Grozny in Russia, where Chechen terrorists are waiting. After landing, a Chechen will contact the Russian Embassy in Paris and demand the release of two Chechen bothers held in the Lubyanka Prison in Moscow, plus ten million US Dollars in exchange for the passengers. During its low level flight over the Mediterranean, the Boeing is seen by two French Destroyers on patrol off Cyprus and it is reported to Naval Intelligence. As it flies on towards Grozny the high use of fuel at low level becomes critical and eventually the jet runs out of fuel and crash lands in the Bolshoi mountains. Kominski and the co-pilot are killed, along with many of the passengers, but Steele survives with Ed Taylor, an American and his wife. At the same time, a flight of three jet fighters take off from a US Carrier to search for the Boeing, while simultaneously three Russian MIG fighters depart from an airfield at Tbilisi to begin searching. As a result of a mid-air collision, one the US jets crashes, but the pilot escapes and is captured by Chechens hiding in the mountains. From then on it is a fast moving adventure with the Russian forces and the Americans trying to find the survivors of the crashed Boeing and fighting the Chechen terrorists, while the UK, US and Russian Government’s attempt to control the dangerous, escalating situation.

    Peter Child

    Peter James Child commenced his writing career in 1969 when he contributed 60 ‘one line’ comedy gags each week to an American Radio show called ‘FUNNYBIRDS’, which starred Goldie Hawn and Phyllis Diller. After meeting Terry Nation, the creator of ‘DR. WHO’, at a Writers Meeting, he was introduced to Alastair Scott-Johnson, the BBC Producer, and as a result of this meeting, the BBC commissioned a Radio comedy series of 9 programs, which Peter co-wrote, called ‘THE MOTORWAY MEN’, starring Milo O’Shea. After this, he turned to writing books and produced three technical books on the subject of Automotive Paint Finishes whilst he was the Quality Control Manager and Chief Test Driver at Aston Martin Lagonda Ltd. The books were sold world wide and are used in many technical colleges, universities as well as major motor manufacturers such as Jaguar Cars Ltd for training. He then wrote ‘NOTES FOR GOOD DRIVERS’ for drivers of all abilities in the hope that this book would make a contribution to road safety. He used his training as a private pilot to carry forward his ideas of ‘safety style’ driving, which he believes has enabled him to drive safely for more than 3 million miles in the UK, Europe and the USA. Now a full time author he has written 32 books, 5 technical and 27 novels, all of which will be available in due course through Smashwords in E book form. Peter has also written 15 murder mystery crime novels set in Victorian London just before the Jack the Ripper murders in Whitechapel in 1888. Inspector James Hadley is assisted by Sergeant Robert Cooper and they are based in the newly formed detective department in Scotland Yard and together they solve the unusual crimes that confront them. He has finished writing a series of racy thrillers, which are entitled, ‘THE DISPOSER’ followed by ‘THE DEAD DROP’ and then ‘A FLIGHT WITH DEMONS’ and his latest racy thriller, ‘THE FEMALE TRIGGER’, which is now available as an E book through Smashwords. The story is about a glamorous, young American widow searching for her brother, who is a CIA Agent missing in Libya. Peter is now writing a sequel to ‘THE FEMALE TRIGGER’ which will be available as an E book through Smashwords.
