Lod Airport, Israel: Two Concorde jets take off for a U.N. 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, dignitaries - 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 mission. In a land of blood and tears, in a windswept place called Babylon, it will be a battle of bullets and courage, and a war to the last death.

Sehr guter Thriller
DeMille erzählt hier sehr intensiv die Story von einer Entführung. Israelische Gesandte werden von einem palästinensischen Kommando entführt und zur Landung "on the rivers of babylon" gezwungen. Entgegen der Planung verteidigen sich die Israelis gegen eine Gefangennahme und liefern sich heftige Gefechte. Ein Wettlauf mit der Zeit fängt an.
Die Story ist gut erzählt, wenn auch mit unter etwas holzschnittartig. Klar. Die Israelis sind die guten und können mit zwei Knarren mehrere hundert (böse) Palästinenser fern halten.
Mitunter nimmt sich die Story so ernst, daß es fast schon lächerlich wird. Einer der Protagonisten denkt ernsthaft darüber nach, seine Freundin wegen eines Wachvergehens an die Wand zu stellen. Und die hatten keinen Krach.
Insgesamt aber ein hervorragendes Buch und ein sehr guter Sprecher.
Gruss
