Thea Paris has precious cargo on her way back to London, in the form of two children she's escorting to their adoptive parents. Thus, when the plane is hijacked and it's up to her to perform a mission and save the hostages, the stakes are high- and personal.
This was a thoroughly enjoyable, high stakes thriller with a competent, intriguing heroine (and the author's choice to make her a type 1 diabetic and how she wove that into the story was a really interesting choice). From the cover, title, and description, I was expecting a story that was a little drier, but the author manages to make this a story with emotion (not sappy, just by developing characters and their relationships well) as well as a really chilling story about a biological weapon.
While this is the second book in the series, it works fine as a standalone (though I'm sure the experience would be enhanced by having read the first story).
