Every few years real-life adventure grabs readers by the throat with its unbelievable story of ordinary people forced by extraordinary circumstances to become heroes. This was true of Piers Paul Reid's Alive, the story of the Andes plane crash survivors. It was true of Adrift, in which a young man perseveres through a harrowing shipwreck in the Pacific. And now there is Hijacked, about three pilots flying a routine Federal Express flight who must call on their inner courage, strength, and ability--in a jet hurting through midair --to stop a bitter, suicidal man from killing them, and thousands of people.

Hijacked tells the true story of three men who became heroes. Reverberations from the ordeal will echo indefinitely for the men and their families--as the story itself will captivate every reader.
