Passenger 57 plot
"He's an ex-cop with a bad mouth, a bad attitude, and a bad seat. For the terrorists on flight 163 . . . he's very bad news."
Flying is safe, says the FFA. But then they don't know passenger Charles Rane yet. Because if this super-terrorist plans his fifth attack, a safe flight for the passengers of flight 163 is as good as out of the question. Fortunately, someone else is traveling with them: the passenger of seat 57, undercover security expert John Cutter. During his bathroom visit, Rane has hijacked the plane and Cutter knows what to do; go or go.
