The Fifth Plane - Paperback

by Bull Marquette (Author)

On 9/11 -- what if there were 5 planes, not 4 that were hijacked by terrorists? And what if the passengers on this FIFTH PLANE, like those brave souls on Flight 93, revolted and tried to re-take the plane -- and WHAT IF, this time, THEY WON? THE FIFTH PLANE is the story of Daniel Clooney, the FBI agent assigned to protect the hero of the fifth plane. THE FIFTH PLANE is a story of love, intrigue and betrayal -- on both sides of the war against terror -- and how the greatest of heroes can be brought down by their own people. THE FIFTH PLANE also provides a tantalizing glimpse of war -- the real one going on behind the one we see nightly on TV.
