The Fifth Plane: THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY (Vol I.)

By Val Walker

Book Overview

THE FIFTH PLANE IS A 9/11 historical fiction novel rooted in fact - many of which remain unknown to the public. This completed work blends suspense and action-adventure with a compelling romance. Written in the spirit of Tom Clancy - with a unique twist.

In the months leading up to 9/11, the paths of pilots, terrorists, federal agencies, and federal agents converge in a tense race against time. On the day of the attacks, the survivors of a secretly hijacked fifth plane - including its female captain and a Federal Air Marshal - are sworn to deny it ever happened.

The story unfolds through the eyes of three central figures:

Captain Kelly Hunter: A seasoned airline pilot and first degree black belt. Her career brings her purpose and joy while shielding her from failed relationships - until it thrusts her into the crosshairs of men far more dangerous than she could have imagined.

Mohammed Atta: The conflicted al-Qaida operative who piloted the first plane into the North Tower. One hidden weakness alters the course of history.

Eugene Fletcher: A determined Federal Air Marshal who risks his career and his life in a desperate attempt to stop Atta before it's too late.
