Publisher's summary

When a large plane is hijacked, the Prime Minister looks at the list of passengers and suddenly becomes very, very frightened. There is a name on the list that the Prime Minister knows very well - too well. There is someone on that plane who will soon be dead - if the hijackers can find out who he is! And there isn’t much time. One man lies dead on the runway. In a few minutes the hijackers will use their guns again. And the Prime Minister knows who they are going to kill.

well-paced, interesting story

There are no surprises here. Skyjack! is the story of what happens when a large plane is hijacked. Sitting on the tarmac, where the Prime Minister of the UK is negotiating with the hijackers. The emotion of this one comes from the fact that one of the passengers is her husband. Tense with fast pacing, this story felt real, and believable.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
