(For a small group of friends a flight to the South of Fra...)
For a small group of friends a flight to the South of France marks the beginning of a well-earned holiday, the fourth they have spent at the Villa Mimosa in Antibes. It is a place they have come to love--the sun, the sea, the palms. But this year it will be different. It only takes a split second of panic on one of their parts to compromise all of them. The easy camaraderie that once bound them together cracks and falls away. All are prisoners of fear and guilt--and there is no one to rescue them but themselves. "Call it a psychological thriller. It is skillfully deployed, very gripping and totally convincing. What will each of them do? You won't want to put it down until you have found out." (Evening Standard, London)

(They are twelve men who shouldn't be alive. They have sur...)
They are twelve men who shouldn't be alive. They have survived the sudden blinding sandstorm that crippled their air freighter. Survived a desperate crash landing in the Sahara of Central Libya. Survived to face the slow, dry, agonizing death of the desert. Twelve men with one hope: to build a new plane from the wreckage of their Skytruck and make a flight out of hell. Only one man could build such a plane: Stringer, the brilliant and obsessed engineer. Only one man could fly it: Towns, the arrogant and tormented pilot. Both had been aboard the Skytruck, but both are mortal enemies whose consuming hatred for each other is a danger greater than the desert itself.
