By the Rivers of Babylon by Nelson Demille
Israel: two Concorde jets take off for a UN conference that will finally bring peace to the Middle East. Covered by F-14 fighters, accompanied by security men, the planes carry warriors, pacifists, lovers, enemies, dignatories - and a bomb planted by a terrorist mastermind. Suddenly they're forced to crash-land at an ancient desert site. Here, with only a handful of weapons, the men and women of the peace mission must make a desperate stand against an army of crack Palestinian commandos - while the Israeli authorities desperately attempt a rescue bid.
'Not since Exodus has there been such a raw powerful story of the Middle East' Harold Robbins. 'A first-class suspense thriller.' Harrison E. Salisbury
