Book Description
When George Spencer, a salesman trouble-shooter, managed late one night to catch the last seat on a charter plane at Winnipeg, there was nothing to distinguish the flight from hundreds of others which take place all over the world every day. The fifty-odd passengers were ordinary, intelligent people out to enjoy themselves at an important ball game. The crew were well-trained and efficient. The aircraft was a four-engined luxury plane of the type you would see at any large airport. True, they were late arriving at Winnipeg from Toronto due to local ground fog, but there was nothing alarming in that. It was soon after they had begun the last leg of their journey, across 1,500 miles of rugged mountainous country to Vancouver, that things started to happen - things that could happen anywhere. The reader shares the nerve-wracking tension of an appalling emergency nearly four miles above the earth, learns something of what it means to attempt to control a modern airliner, and follows step by step the urgent developments on the ground. Flight into Danger is a unique collaboration between John Castle and Arthur Hailey, two writers who have each established for himself a considerable reputation for fully-documented, completely realistic suspense. It was originally published in the USA under the title Runway Zero-Eight.

Book Description
A dynamic race with death high above the frozen North Atlantic. At eight hundred feet the Atlantic waves looked huge; they also looked terrifyingly near, rearing up hungrily as though to lick at our feet, and still there was no sign from the engines that fuel was being burned. I switched on the radio. ‘Mayday, Mayday. Golf Alpha Lima Zulu, ditching in the North Atlantic approximately seventy miles south of Cape Farewell. Mayday, Mayday...’ The surging Atlantic was only five hundred feet below us now, white foam on angry black waves, and still the Tiger plunged downward... A suspense thriller of pure adrenaline and excitement, Flight Into Fear is a nerve-shredding experience, perfect for fans of Hammond Innes, Desmond Bagley and Len Deighton. Praise for Duncan Kyle ‘Brilliant ... the outstanding thriller-writer discovery of the seventies’ Evening News ‘Highly readable ... never a dull moment’ Daily Mail ‘Stunningly dramatic’ Evening Standard
