Captain Rob Robertson, on his final flight before mandatory retirement at age sixty, faces the gravest decision of his long flying career - should he ditch his aircraft in the angry sea or attempt a seat-of-the-pants landing at a storm-racked, abandoned airfield on the rugged coast of Labrador? Here is an authentic look inside the cockpit, from a retired pilot who understands the intricacies of piloting a jet airliner. The rekindling of a long dormant love, between Rob and flight attendant Charis, provides another excellent plot line as engaging as a trip to Paris.
