COST OF LIFE: A THRILLER

Book ID/图书代码: 00343014B73583

English Summary/英文概要: For readers of Preston & Child, James Rollins, and Brad Thor comes a gripping new thriller from Joshua Corin, in which an audacious hijacking is just the beginning of a twisted international nightmare.

Happy Independence Day. You’re all going to die.

Life can’t be better for veteran pilot Larry Walder. He has a great job, a terrific kid, a gorgeous wife—and no inkling that tonight will be the end of the world as he knows it. In the early hours before the Fourth of July, three men break into Larry’s home. And as the day lurches on to its terrifying course, a life is taken, and Flight 816 from Atlanta to Cozumel, Mexico, vanishes off the radar.

In the air, Larry must find a way to save his family, his crew, and his passengers. On the ground, disgraced FBI agent Xanadu Marx goes rogue, making it her mission to track down the missing flight before the hijackers reach their diabolical endgame. With the casualties racking up and the world’s busiest airport under lockdown, a message arrives: This is no ordinary hijacking, no typical hostage crisis. This ransom is a totally different beast—the first hint of a conspiracy that might bring America to its knees.

Chinese Summary/中文概要: 如果你是普雷斯顿&查尔德、詹姆斯•罗林斯和布拉德•索尔的粉丝,那么这本来自耶和华•考林的全新惊悚力作将是您的不二选择,在本书中,大胆的劫机事件只不过是一系列可怕全球噩梦的开端。

独立日快乐。恭喜你死期将近。

对于退伍飞行老兵拉里•瓦尔德而言,生活简直美妙无比。他拥有一份十分满意的工作,优秀的孩子,人人羡慕的妻子----一切都毫无迹象,今晚将会成为他所认识的这个世界的最后一天。就在7月4日的早些时候,三名男子闯进了拉里的家中。随着这一天的终结,一条生命被他们夺走,而从亚特兰大飞往墨西哥科苏梅尔岛的航班816也神秘地消失在了雷达范围内。

身陷空中的拉里必须找到一个可以拯救自己的家人,机员和乘客的方法。而地面之上,联邦探员莎娜多•马克斯已然抓狂,誓要在劫机事件演变出可怕的结果前追踪到这架飞机的行踪。随着伤亡人数的不断增加和全球最繁忙机场的封闭,终于迎来了一条消息:这不是一场寻常的劫机案件,也没有常见的人质危机。这一次的赎金却无疑更加可怕如洪水猛兽----第一条提示便是一场可以让美国俯首投降的巨大阴谋。(DC)
