ON A CLEAR, COLD NIGHT HIGH ABOVE EAST ASIA, A CHINA AIR PASSENGER JET DISAPPEARS FROM RADAR WITH ALL ABOARD. IT'S AN ANOMALY, A FLUKE, AN UNSOLVABLE PUZZLE-AND THEN A COUPLE OF HOURS LATER, IT HAPPENS AGAIN.
It's 2023. Former Air Force maintenance officer Jason Montgomery and his erstwhile wrench-twister, Rob "Ski" Kalawski, have just landed the gig of their lives. China Air's aging fleet of Boeing 777s now desperately needs navigation hardware and software upgrades. It's a multimillion-dollar contract, and they're just the guys to do it. Too easy, right?
Wrong. The Japanese firm supplying the gear knows the Chinese will reverse-engineer and steal it, so they've planted a deadly navigation bug to trigger at the first sign of theft. Jason's just the middleman, but he finds himself trapped between yakuza gangsters, a tattooed dragon-lady sales exec, and murderous Russian mobsters looking to make a profit on the missing airplanes and passengers. If these crazies don't start behaving like moral adults, people are going to die by the hundreds . . . and they do.
FINAL FLIGHT, the latest prescient tale from the man who brought us the NEW CALIPHATE trilogy and BYTE, might make you think twice before boarding the next plane.
