Flight 3911: 9/11: we know the fate of Flight 93, but what if there was a fifth hijacking? - Paperback

On September 11, 2001, four planes changed the world. This is the story of the fifth.

Brandon Powell boards Flight 3911 expecting an ordinary trip to Seattle. Minutes after takeoff, five Middle Eastern men seize the aircraft, killing the pilots and a flight attendant as the terror of 9/11 erupts in real time. But unlike the other doomed flights, the 48 passengers of Flight 3911 refuse to surrender their fate.

Led by Brandon-a small-aircraft pilot with nothing but instinct and courage-the passengers rise up, overpower the hijackers, and reclaim the jet against impossible odds. Three terrorists are captured alive, becoming the first POWs of the War on Terror; two others lie dead on the cabin floor.

What happens next is buried from the world.

NORAD secretly diverts the 757 to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, staging the crash of an empty remote-controlled cargo jet so the public believes Flight 3911 met the same fate as United 93. The truth is classified. The POWs are flown to Afghanistan and turned over to disgraced Marine Major Cauldwell, a man ordered to extract every detail of the attack-by any means necessary.

As Operation Bonanza unfolds, Cauldwell uncovers the identity of the mastermind behind 9/11. A covert Delta Force team is deployed on a Black Ops mission deep inside Syria, infiltrating local populations and waiting for the perfect moment to strike back.

From the skies over America to the mountains of Afghanistan and the shadows of the Middle East, Flight 3911 is a gripping alternate-history thriller that asks: What if one more plane had been stopped-and what would America have done with the men responsible?
