FBI Special Agent Heather Lawrence boards her trans-Atlantic flight in Houston on her way to Salzburg, Austria for a much-needed vacation. She has a lot of things to think through during her time away because her husband Chad has asked for a divorce. They have been drifting apart for some time now, and Chad refuses to seek counseling. Heather doesn’t want to throw away eight years of marriage; she thought it would last forever.
A shrill scream from behind Heather’s business class seat on the plane, causes her to jump into action. Her FBI training as a Behavior Analyst with the Critical Incident Response Group is alive and well. An elderly man is having a bad nosebleed and his wife cannot get it stopped. Heather assists but finds he is also burning with fever. Simultaneously, others on the plane begin to experience the same maladies, as well as several flu-like symptoms. The entire plane is thrown into chaos. Has someone sabotaged the air-filtration system on the plane? Why are some getting sick and others are not?
The plane gets permission to land in New York, and the ill are transported to a hospital. All other passengers are required to quarantine on an island off the coast to see if the CDC and FBI can learn what has caused the epidemic on this plane. Can they find the source in time to stop the deaths that are now following suit? And can they find the person responsible?
Dianne Mills brings us a timely thriller in AIRBORNE. How appropriate is this story considering the pandemic we are living through right now! This story’s strong and resilient heroine is surrounded by a plethora of characters who each play their part well. Heather tries to work with the government agencies from the plane, as well as from quarantine to catch the perpetrator. Several suspects are in the headlights of the FBI, and one of them is Heather’s husband. Was this an act of terrorism? Was the source a weapon of mass destruction? The storyline moves quickly and methodically in search of answers to these questions. AIRBORNE is an inspirational story about relationships, not only between people but also with God. Dianne Mills never disappoints and once again, brings us a dynamic tale featuring faith and trust in God. Put this one on your list!
Book Summary
Heather Lawrence’s long-awaited vacation to Salzburg wasn’t supposed to go like this. Mere hours into the transatlantic flight, the Houston FBI agent is awakened when passengers begin exhibiting horrific symptoms of an unknown infection. As the virus quickly spreads and dozens of passengers fall ill, Heather fears she’s witnessing an epidemic similar to ones her estranged husband studies for a living—but this airborne contagion may have been deliberately released.
While Heather remains quarantined with other survivors, she works with her FBI colleagues to identify the person behind this attack. The prime suspect? Dr. Chad Lawrence, an expert in his field . . . and Heather’s husband. The Lawrences’ marriage has been on the rocks since Chad announced his career took precedence over his wife and future family and moved out.
As more victims fall prey days after the initial outbreak, time’s running out to hunt down the killer, one who may be closer to the victims than anyone ever expected.
