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.

Solid thriller about a hijack attempt that evolves into a ground siege pitting terrorists against civilians in a military-style stand-off.
More similar to Demille's Cathedral than to his recent novels.
3 stars out of 5

A mideastern peace mission crash lands and is pinned down by Palestinian commandos who don't want peace. It will be a battle of bullets and courage and a war to the last death.
Fantastic Book! One of DeMille's best.
