When a terrifying crisis erupts--stranding a snowbound airport in a blizzard of pressure, passion and peril--the key to life and death rests in the hands of one of four people: a tough troubleshooter, an arrogant pilot, a beautiful stewardess, or a brilliant airport manager.
This is one of Arthur Hailey's finest books in which he details some of the intricasies of dealing with everyday functions of an airport. Several "situations" interweave their way through the book and all combines for fascinating reading. Though fiction, the book is based on real fact about airport operations.
Suspenseful classic tale.
