Long-listed for THE J R ACKERLEY PRIZE FOR AUTOBIOGRAPHY 2005. The shortlist will be announced in February 2005 and the winner in late March. Warm from the memory of a five week trip around India, Catherine Hill and her boyfriend are happy to be on a plane flying home to Milan. They dream of decent Italian food, and an exciting future together as they wearily climb on board the Pan-Am jumbo at four o'clock on a Friday morning at Bombay airport. Briefly opening their eyes as the plane touches down in Karachi for a fuel and passenger stopover, they little imagine the tragedy that is about to unfold and the merciless twist life has reserved for them and many of their fellow passengers. Within a few minutes, four hundred people on their flight are sitting bolt upright in their seats with their hands over their heads and hearts pounding in their chests as four PLO terrorists hurl orders down the aisles and a passenger is shot dead and thrown out on the tarmac. Twenty-two passengers are murdered and more than one hundred injured including Catherine who is near fatally wounded. Her boyfriend saves her life by dragging her, bleeding heavily, away from the plane despite his own injuries. Her body, her self image and serenity are blown apart. Over the following years Catherine has to pull out every resource she has, physical, psychological, emotional and financial to reclaim her life and to accept what cannot be changed. Twenty-five operations around the world, two court cases on either side of the Atlantic together with her partner, keep her incessantly busy until there comes a natural end to all her fighting. It is only then that she must face her greatest challenge...

The Survival Story of a Fighter Pilot

United States Air Force Captain Jack Wright had been a pilot in the Air Force for over five years. He had a very strong start in a wonderful career. The Air Force gave Jack the opportunity to become Fighter Aircraft qualified in the F-100. This opportunity was the realization of a dream. Little did Jack realize that this duty would also end his career in the Air Force. He certainly did not realize it would require a reevaluation of his life goals. Accepting this assignment would result in changing who Jack was and what was important to him. The book tells of the thrill of becoming and being a pilot. It tells of his service in Vietnam. It tells of a very troubled childhood and the determination that childhood gave him to set and achieve goals. Most important, this book tells of how God met Jack's needs and walked with him through every situation he faced.

Hardcover (1 to 2 lbs)

Richard MacMurray, a cable news talking head, is paid handsomely to pontificate on the issues of the moment. On New Year's Day he is scheduled to be a guest on a prominent morning talk show. As he awaits the broadcast, the network interrupts with news that a jet airliner has crashed in Dallas and that everyone aboard has perished.

Within an hour, amateur videotape surfaces of the plane's last moments, transforming the crash into a living image: familiar, constant, and horrifying. Richard learns that his sister, Mary Beth, was aboard the doomed flight, leaving behind her six-year-old son, Gabriel. Richard is the boy's only living relative. When he is given an opportunity to bring Gabriel home, it may be that the loss of his sister will provide him with the second chapter he never knew he wanted.

In this powerful debut, Steve Kistulentz captures the sprawl of contemporary America -- its culture, its values, the workaday existence of its people -- with kaleidoscopic sweep and controlled intensity. Yet within the expansive scope of Panorama lies an intimate portrait of human loss rendered with precision, humanity, and humor.

Reviewers have called John J.

But within minutes, the plane is rocked by an explosion outside the cockpit that leaves one pilot dead and another blinded. The huge jet shudders through its descent while hundreds of passengers hold on for their lives.Kat Bronsky, an FBI agent and terrorism specialist, is assigned the hunt for a Global Express business jet seen nearby prior to the attack.

Bronsky tracks the Global Express crew across the Pacific to the American Northwest and a breathless, edge-of-the-seat showdown.

An Extraordinary True Story

Only four men survived the plane crash. The pilot. A politician. A cop... and the criminal he was shackled to. On an icy night in October 1984, a commuter plane carrying nine passengers crashed in the remote wilderness of northern Alberta, killing six people. Four survived: the rookie pilot, a prominent politician, a cop, and the criminal he was escorting to face charges. Despite the poor weather, Erik Vogel, the 24-year-old pilot, was under intense pressure to fly. Larry Shaben, the author's father and Canada's first Muslim Cabinet Minister, was commuting home after a busy week at the Alberta Legislature. Constable Scott Deschamps was escorting Paul Archambault, a drifter wanted on an outstanding warrant. Against regulations, Archambault's handcuffs were removed-a decision that would profoundly impact the men's survival. As the men fight through the night to stay alive, the dividing lines of power, wealth, and status are erased, and each man is forced to confront the precious and limited nature of his existence.
