Pandora's Clock

John Nance, popular author of Turbulence, Headwind, and Blackout, gives an authoritative reading of his latest sky high thriller. The days before Christmas are often filled with happy anticipation. Such is the case with the passengers aboard Captain James Holland's flight from Frankfurt to New York; they're all anxious to be home for the holidays. Suddenly, a passenger keels over, apparently from a heart attack. Holland is, of course, forced to ask for clearance to make an emergency landing at London's Heathrow Airport. He is shocked when permission to land is denied by air traffic control with the word that the passenger is not a heart attack victim but has contracted a deadly virus, and the plane must return to Germany. But German officials refuse permission to land, as do other European fields. Fear spreads that all aboard may now be carriers of the virus, and then the unthinkable - will the plane be shot down? Another pulse pounder from Nance! - Gail Cooke

I could not put this book down. Every time I am on a plane, or even see a plane for that matter, I can't help but wonder "What if...". It really makes you think twice about all modes of public transportation. The next time you find yourself suddenly feeling sick, think back to the last 24-48 hours to all of the places, faces and things you've touched and then ask, "what if...".

This was the first book I ever read by John J. Nance, and it is my favorite by far. From page one, you are drawn in to the plot, and can easily get a certain feel for each character. Soon, you are turning the pages nonstop, with one new event overlapping the next. If you haven't read it yet, I highly suggest you don't read another book until you read this one. The aviation scenes are extremely exciting, and the end is very thrilling and realistic, providing Nance's best book yet.

This book is full of suspence and agony. The author reveals the courage and the risk taken by the pilot for the safety of his passengers. I reccommend this book to anyone who just loves adventure.

What a great book!!!. I loved it from the first to the last page. To be honest, I never heard of John Nance. But after this book I want to read all of Nance's books. I really want to see the movie now. I heard that should be OK too. But stop reading this!!!GO BUY THIS BOOK!!!!
