Synopsis
When an airplane makes an emergency landing at the Los Angeles airport, the jet's manufacturer gives a young woman named Casey the task of discovering what went wrong. Was it a manufacturing defect, mechanical trouble, or an inept terrorist attack? Casey must find answers while fending off an ambitious journalist who wants to make the story of flight 545 her big one--even at the expense of the facts.

Industry Reviews
"...He [Crichton] has taken on a complex subject in "Airframe" and made its subtleties dramatically vivid."
New York Times Book Review - Christopher Lehmann-Haupt (12/05/1997)
"It's amazing to experience the heart-pounding thrills of flight while simultaneously becoming more confident in the safety of it all...A surprising and deliciously satisfying conclusion."
Petzinger
"Crichton wants to make your pulse race from almost the first page--or more to the point, the first frame. And he is extremely good at it. His books are essentially screenplays with a few editorials tucked in. The editorials are the interesting part...He's against self-righteous reporters, internationalist businessmen, and ambitious women too."
