Airframe
By Michael Crichton
Cruising 35,000 feet above the earth, a twin-engine commercial jet encounters an accident that leaves 3 dead, 56 wounded, and the cabin in shambles. But the pilot manages to land the plane...
What happened? With a multi-billion-dollar company-saving deal on the line, Casey Singleton is sent by her hard-driving boss to uncover the mysterious circumstances that led to the disaster before more people die. But someone doesn't want her to find the truth. Airframe bristles with authentic information, technical jargon, and the command of detail Crichton's readers have come to expect.
The Escape Artist
By Diane Chamberlain
The one man who understands Susanna Miller says she is always running away from her troubles. True to form, she flees with her young son after losing custody to her lawyer ex-husband. After relocating and re-creating her life as Kim Stratton, Susanna stumbles onto a serial bomber's plan for revenge. She must stop the murders without jeopardizing her new life while finding a way to face her problems head-on. Chamberlain tells a moving tale of parental love and desperation while throwing in plot twists and intrigue.
Weeding Out The Tears
Jeanne White and Susan Dworkin
It has been seven years since the death of Ryan White, a teenager who contracted AIDS while being treated for hemophilia. Given three to six months to live, Ryan lived five and a half years before his death at age 18. Even while he was lauded in the media, Ryan was scorned and rejected by neighbors and former friends who chose to remain ignorant of the true cause and dangers of his illness. Ryan's spirit was kept healthy by the love and support of his mother, Jeanne. Here she looks back at her own life's journey. Throughout marital and economic difficulties, she kept her faith that each challenge prepares us to meet those that follow. Here she shares memories of Ryan and explains how she came to establish the Ryan White Foundation and speak out as an AIDS activist.
Infinity's Child
Harry Stein
They were on the brink of the most important scientific discovery of our time. But they needed a baby...Her baby.
Their first choice...
Sally Benedict is having a baby. After years of trying, after scores of tests, Sally and her husband are thrilled. But someone is watching, someone who knows all about Sally's unborn child--right down to her unique genetic code.
Their last chance...
A few miles away, scientists at a biotech lab are nearing a breakthrough. They have uncovered the key to longevity--in one family's genetic makeup. Lives will be saved. Billions can be made. But one crucial piece is missing: the healthy organs of a newborn who possesses the rare "infinity gene."
Their next victim...
A world-class reporter in her small town, Sally can sense the darkness gathering around her. Graves are being robbed in the local churchyard--and they all belong to one family: her own. Then, suddenly, with her husband out of town, Sally goes into labor in a remote rural hospital, knowing she can trust no one--not even her own doctor. What she doesn't know is how far this is all going to go. Because ruthless scientists, desperate for a medical miracle, are running out of time. And they're coming for Sally's child....
