Freak accidents keep happening - crashes, near misses, on-board flight system failures - but only on Airtech "fly-by-wire" planes. Is it faulty software, pilot error, or something more sinister? Investigations of black boxes and computer analysis turn up nothing. Only Air Safety Investigator Alan Wilcox senses the ominous truth: it's sabotage. His colleagues doubt him, and his family is coming apart, but this one lone inspector takes on the aviation community, the FAA, and the NTSB, searching for pieces of the diabolical puzzle.Wilcox matches wits with an insane genius and becomes obsessed with stopping the mysterious crashes. Torn between saving lives and his need to hold his family together, he races against time to uncover the plot before another crash and more human lives lost.Written with authenticity, this chilling techno-thriller plays on our worst air safety fears. Scatterpath does for aviation what John Grisham's The Firm did for lawyers.
