This is not light reading! A jetliner carrying 343 people crashes on take-off and kills everyone on board. This is the story of an investigative reporter who sets out to determine the cause of that crash. The official cause is "bird strike", but this is a new, high tech airliner that was designed to resist such a fate. This becomes the biggest story of the reporter's career. A cover-up at the highest level of the US government. The author is a pilot and a journalist-it can't get any more real than that! A very believable disaster-I couldn't put this book down.
