About this item

Driverless cars are here to stay, and so are pilotless planes. What happens to the pilots who used to fly those planes? What happens when a pilotless flight is hacked? Tom Jordan, formerly an airline Captain, finds himself downgraded to "Safety Officer" on today's flight, one of the first fully automated flights to Shanghai. It's a route he knows well. Yet he resents his reduced role and its accompanying loss of status. When the plane unexpectedly banks, Tom's hackles rise. He is able to re-establish the correct course. But after a series of baffling events, clearly caused by electronic commands beyond his training, he knows he needs help. He asks two deadheading pilots on board, who either can't or won't help him. To the terror of passengers, the plane continues to fly from mysterious and erratic commands.
