When Captain Scott McKay discovers a strange crate in his cargo hold, he little suspects that it carries a thermo-nuclear bomb. McKay and his crew soon realize that this is no ordinary nuclear device but one capable of destroying every computer chip over a radius of 2000 miles. Can they defuse it?

Review:

If you miss the great airborne adventures of writers like the late Ernest K. Gann, John Nance might help take up some of the slack. His Pandora's Clock--it became a TV movie--featured a nasty virus rampant at 35,000 ft. His latest has the widow of a world- class scientist trying to deliver to the Pentagon an invention that could shut down computers everywhere, thus ending civilization (and on-line bookselling) as we know it. Lots of hairy, if somewhat implausible, action--sure to be exploited in another TV movie.
