Summary:
"Richard Vaux has done his share of dirty work, but nothing like this. His employer, Trans World Airlines (TWA), wants him and a crew to sneak into Beirut, Lebanon, at the height of a civil war, and reclaim an airplane hijacked by Palestinian terrorists. TWA can't say, for sure, whether the plane will fly, or whether it has been wired to explode over the Mediterranean. And that's assuming they aren't attacked by one, or more, of the rival militias who pass the time shooting at each other across the tarmac, but only because there haven't been any Americans to kidnap in awhile." -- page [4] of cover.
