In 1947 a Santiago-bound plane crashes into the Andes minutes after confirming its landing time. In 2003 a passenger plane nosedives into the Bavarian National Forest during a routine flight. Although separated by more than 50 years, these tragedies are linked by seven letters: S, T, E, N, D, E, C. On board Flight DFU323 in 2003 is Saskia Brandt—a woman who holds the answers to the many puzzles of the two flights and who knows she must survive in order to prevent a catastrophic chain of events stretching well into the future. But Saskia is not the only one to know this. She is being followed and her life is in danger—inside and outside of the plane. Filled with twists and turns as it trips skilfully through time, Flashback is a gripping technothriller that reaches more than fifty years into our past—and one hundred years into our future—to solve the enigmas of the doomed Star Dust and Flight DFU323. But is it enough to solve the enigma that is Saskia Brandt?]]> Thu, 17 Nov 2011 16:08:17 +0200 Red Star Falling at-1 https://fiction.library.land/ian-hocking/242791-red_star_falling_at-1.html https://fiction.library.land/ian-hocking/242791-red_star_falling_at-1.html Red Star Falling at-1
