Description

When a large plane is hijacked, the Prime Minister looks at the list of passengers and suddenly becomes very, very frightened. There is a name on the list that the Prime Minister knows very well - too well. There is someone on that plane who will soon be dead - if the hijackers can find out who he is! And there isn't much time. One man lies dead on the runway. In a few minutes the hijackers will use their guns again. And the Prime Minister knows who they are going to kill.

This story is about an airplane that is hijacked, and a very important passenger who is on the plane. It's okay, but I just didn't find the plot so interesting. I didn't care enough about the characters.
