作者简介：Susan Grant draws on her experiences as an Air Force officer and airline pilot to create stories brimming with romance, humor, and page-turning adventure. Her bestselling novels have won many awards. But long before she wrote her first book, she adored telling tales. As a child, the only thing she liked more than daydreaming was an audience. At eighteen, she set out to live the stories she'd only imagined, and entered the United States Air Force Academy as a member of the
third class in history to include women. There she made the grim discovery that she lacked the gene nec-essary to comprehend advanced calculus. Nonetheless, she graduated and completed two tours of duty in the Air Force before joining United Airlines to fly 747 jumbo jets around the world.

Drawing on her experience as a commercial airline pilot, Grant (The Star Prince) brings a masterful realism to this otherworldly romance. United Airlines pilot Jordan Cady is promoted to captain when her 747 is captured en route to Hawaii and her captain dies from a heart attack. With the events of September 11 still fresh in her mind, Jordan initially believes the aircraft has been hijacked by terrorists, but she soon realizes that they've been pulled into the maw of an alien spaceship. Grant's "aliens" are less imaginative than one would expect. They look and act human, but they speak Key, the official language of the "Alliance," and possess loads of Star Trek-like gadgets. Using a high-tech translator, K…o, the scarred son of the ship's commander, reluctantly informs Jordan and her passengers that a comet has destroyed Earth. While Jordan sees to the comfort of her crew, she battles an ever increasing attraction to K…o, who has demons of his own to purge. Their romance plays out against the backdrop of the war between the Alliance and the Talagars, a race of amoral humans, which makes for an explosive finish. Readers who can get past the book's slow beginning and implausible premise will relish this emotionally charged aviation romance.
