The review of this Book prepared by irina




This is a very interesting story about an airliner load of people that wake up in a different world! Follow along in the mystery and suspense as they search for the truth and try to get back to real life! An all around pretty good book. Found as a 250 page story in "Four Past Midnight" available at bookstores.
