Synopsis
Further nail-biting suspense from the master of the airborne disaster thriller The "boomerang box" is a high-tech computer program designed to save an aircraft experiencing flight trouble, and Dr Ben Coles looks upon it as his baby. But, after a test run over the Gulf of Alaska goes awry, he suspects someone may have sabotaged the plane's computer systems. And, mysteriously, April Rosen is horrified to learn that almost simultaneously her father's amphibian Albatross has narrowly escaped a mid-air collision over the same patch of sea. While Dr Coles considers the uncomfortable notion that someone within his own company might wish him harm, April begins her search for the cause of her father's chilling near-miss. But what they don't know is that their fears have a common source. And meanwhile they are being watched by people in the Pentagon who fear that the two may stumble on a secret that will destroy them all before Skyhook has a chance to succeed. But what is Skyhook's real purpose?

Product Description
The "boomerang box," a high-tech computer program designed to save a plane experiencing flight trouble, is Dr. Ben Cole's baby. After a test run over the Gulf of Alaska goes awry, he suspects someone has sabotaged the plane's computer systems. And mysteriously, and almost simultaneously, April Rosen is horrified to learn that her father's plane has narrowly escaped a mid-air collision over the same patch of sea. While Dr. Cole considers the uncomfortable notion that someone within his own company might wish him harm, Rosen begins her search for the cause of her father's hair-raising "near miss." But what both don't know is this: their fears have a common source. They are being watched by people in the Pentagon, who believe that the two might stumble upon the secret that will destroy them all before Skyhook has a chance to succeed. What is Skyhook's real purpose? Is it commercial or military? And will its early implementation compromise the safety of flyers everywhere?
