Accidental Heroes

Product Information

There is a captain who has survived the worst, a crew who is waiting to land so that they can get back to their life, and passengers who want this to be a regular flight. Although the story could have ended much earlier, having engaged with the different characters it was a satisfying conclusion.

But as it emerges, there’s someone on the flight planning something terrible and these strangers’ lives entwine as they come together to help to avert a tragedy at the eleventh hour.
