Nelson DeMille is an incredible writer! This book of suspense is not only well written and a major page-turner, but I was surprised to find myself learning so much about ancient cultures (like Babylonia) while reading it! The book is about two jets that take off from Isreal for a U.N. Conference to bring about peace in the Middle East. The planes are both loaded with bombs, unbeknownest to the passengers. They are forced to crashland in the middle of the desert and then try to defend their lives against the terrorists that come to get them. Amazing suspense!

Palestinian fighters hijack 2 Concorde jets and foul peace talks again. The fight for survival, history of the Middle East and world politics make this an exciting read.

Great story of Israel Concorde jet hijack.
Helpful Score: 1
Book about arab terrorists hijacking a planeload of Isrealis to Babylon in Iraq. Written in 1978, so in some ways a little dated, but still echoes today.
Helpful Score: 1
Taut, fast-paced thriller albeit with dated politics at the core.
