This was Nelson DeMille's first novel. Published in 1978, it is a thriller novel, the plot being that two new Concorde jets flying to a U.N. meeting for peace in the Middle East are advised that bombs war hidden in the planes and they are forced to an alternate route. One jet ignores the warning and is destroyed and the other crashes near the ruins of Babylon. While the Israelis attempt a rescue, the occupants must defend themselves.
