Imperial 109

They took off in splendour—but flew into a nightmare . . .
On the eve of World War II, Imperial 109—the most magnificent aircraft known to man—sets off on a six-day luxury trip carrying a colourful group of passengers and millions of dollars in gold bullion.
But for Captain Desmond O’Neill and his crew, as well as for the odd assortment of travellers, the journey of a lifetime quickly becomes a disaster of scandals, passion, terror and grave danger that will threaten all their lives.
IMPERIAL 109 is a masterful thriller of high-stakes, storm-fuelled adventure which readers of Ken Follett’s Night Over Water, Ernest K. Gann’s The High and Mighty and Vicki Baum’s Grand Hotel will love.
