Synopsis
THIS AFTERNOON IN NEW YORK CITY, AFTER A SUBWAY TRAIN LEFT THE PELHAM STATION AT 1:23 P.M., THE EVENTS OF THE DAY TOOK A TERRIFYING DETOUR...
"You will all remain seated. Anyone who tries to get up, or even moves, will be shot. There will be no further warning. If you move you will be killed..." Four men, armed with submachine guns, have seized a New York City subway train, holding all seventeen passengers--and the entire city--hostage. The identities of the hijackers are unknown. Their demands seem impossible. Their threats are real. Their escape seems inconceivable. Only one thing is certain: they aren't stopping for anything."synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
