1787 by Sean Michael Bailey
At 36,000 feet, the cyber-battle has begun and the stakes are higher than life-or-death. Matt Newton and his fellow passengers aboard Flight 1787 from Kennedy Airport face a series of desperate struggles; both real and virtual. They must defeat a fearless enemy, who uses secret technology and ruthless violence in a grab to achieve a sacred goal. The odds are impossible, the consequences beyond reckoning."Sean Michael Bailey's 1787 is an edge-of-your-seat thriller, the likes of which you've never read before... Buckle your seatbelts and prepare for the flight of your life with this heart-stopping drama that will grip you until the very last page. You won't want to put this book down." -- Lisa Pulitzer, author of The Daughters of Juarez
"Sean Michael Bailey, the pseudonym for a bestselling author of non-fiction, re-imagines an old scenario with a few new twists in this Poseidon Adventure translated for post-9/11 air travel. ... The inventive way the villains engineer their attack must have alarmed someone during the publishing process; the reader is assured that the manuscript was vetted for classified information that "might adversely impact national security." ... Bailey's thinly-veiled allusions to the cowboy commander-in-chief and his czarist number-two can be hilarious if you're game for that sort of thing." -- Nicole K. Sia, Mystery Scene Magazine
