Publisher's Summary:
Flight 816 has been hijacked and the terrorists have decided to auction off the passengers online. The passengers who receive the highest bids will be released. The passengers who receive the lowest bids will be executed.
Life can't be better for veteran pilot Larry Walder. He has a great job, a terrific kid, a gorgeous wife - and no inkling that tonight will be the end of the world as he knows it. In the early hours before the Fourth of July, three men break into Larry's home. And as the day lurches on to its terrifying course, a life is taken, and Flight 816 from Atlanta to Cozumel, Mexico, vanishes off the radar. In the air, Larry must find a way to save his family, his crew, and his passengers.
On the ground, disgraced FBI agent Xanadu Marx goes rogue, making it her mission to track down the missing flight before the hijackers reach their diabolical endgame. With the casualties racking up and the world's busiest airport under lockdown, a message arrives: This is no ordinary hijacking, no typical hostage crisis. This ransom is a totally different beast - the first hint of a conspiracy that might bring America to its knees.
Cover Design by Scott Biel.
Critic Reviews:
"Fraught with danger and surprises, Cost of Life is a tale chock-full of action, adventure, and intrigue. Treachery comes from all directions, so consider yourself warned." (Steve Berry, New York Times best-selling author of The Lincoln Myth)
"Joshua Corin is a master storyteller. Cost of Life is a thriller par excellence: brilliantly imaginative, well written, and delightfully diabolical. Highly recommended! (Douglas Preston, number one best-selling co-creator of the Pendergast novels)
"In Cost of Life, Joshua Corin turns a humdrum airline flight into a ride on an F-15 with a smoking engine - fast, terrifying, and oh so fun. I loved the writing. Corins whip-smart dialogue crashed me straight into a world of fascinating characters and complicated allegiances. I couldnt stop reading until the wheels touched down on that final tarmac." (Rebecca Cantrell, New York Times best-selling author of The World Beneath)

Thrilling and exciting
I read this book on an airplane. Yes, it is about a plane hijacking and I read it on on airplane. Not sure what it says about me, but the fact that I read the entire book in two flights (with a short layover in between) says a lot about this novel.
It reads very quickly. The plot is riveting, the characters exciting and well developed, the dialogue rich and meaty, and the language smart and captivating. The tone is equal parts thriller, and dark comedy.
The plot deals with a hijacking of an American plane, which seems nearly impossible in the post-9/11 world. Although I still have some minor skepticism about the plausibility of someone pulling off this crime today, I found the author's handling of the details to be rather masterful. The characters were so enjoyable, the language so easy to get immersed in, and the dialogue moved so quickly, I had little trouble spending my disbelief on some of the plot points. For you see, Corin is not just writing another Die Hard sequel. He has bigger goals in mind.
