About this listen
A decorated former air force pilot. A pregnant flight attendant. A dedicated TSA agent. The fates of these three, and many others, converge in Danielle Steel's gripping new novel - a heart-stopping thriller that engages ordinary men and women in the fight of their lives during a flight from New York to San Francisco.
On a beautiful May morning at New York's John F. Kennedy airport, two planes have just departed for San Francisco - one a 757, another a smaller Airbus A321. At a security checkpoint, TSA agent Bernice Adams finds a postcard of the Golden Gate Bridge bearing an ambiguous - perhaps ominous - message. Her supervisor dismisses her concerns, but Bernice calls security, and soon Ben Waterman arrives. A senior Homeland Security agent still grappling with guilt after a disastrous operation in which hostages were killed, Ben too becomes suspicious. Who left the postcard behind, which flight is that person on, and what exactly does the message mean?
As Ben scans the passenger manifests, his focus turns to the A321, with Helen Smith as its senior pilot. Helen's military service and her tenure with the airline have been exemplary. But her husband's savage death in Iraq was more than anyone should bear, leaving her widowed with three children. A major film star is on board. So is an off-duty pilot who has just lost his 40 year career. So is a distraught father, traveling with the baby son he has abducted from his estranged wife. Sifting through data and relying on instinct, Ben becomes convinced that someone on Helen's plane is planning something terrible. And he's right. Passengers, crew, and experts on the ground become heroes out of necessity to try to avert tragedy at the 11th hour.
In her stunning novel Danielle Steel combines intense action with stories of emotionally rich, intertwined lives. As the jet bears down on its destination of San Francisco, strangers are united, desperate choices are made, and futures will be changed forever by a handful of accidental heroes.

Exciting until ...
The story was great, edge of your seat stuff until ... well, the last few chapters finished all the story lines, but they were almost gratuitous. The excitement was over and it felt rather like an overly long wait in the customs line after a lengthy overseas flight - the last bit of a trip that you could really have done without.

Great story!
I liked that the narrator didn’t change voices with the different characters. Very pleasant to listen to.

Danielle Steel has done it again.
A storyline we’ve heard before but with different details. She and the narrator make it a very interesting read that I found difficult to put down. Well done and thank you.

very engaging story. Loved it
I'm not usually one to read non-romance books. but this one was just wonderful. give your chance to see the good side of human nature as well as maybe a little bit of the darkness that resides out there. and how an average person doing a small job could affect such a large range of people. it's awe inspiring. thank you for writing it!

Very average
Good performance but the story was SO flat. Anticlimactic and the last hour or two felt unnecessarily drawn out. Very random characters and small storylines about them thrown throughout the book that had zero impact on the story and plot as a whole. An ok story, but nothing great.

Accidental Hero’s! A decent book
It had a lot of back and forth with the characters.
Diggin in deep with some and then leaving them till very end to tie them back in
Antagonist was very easy to spot.
