The book is about a man named Carl and his bodyguard Harald.
They are going home, after their business trip.
When they are in the airplane an airhostess comes to serve them coffee.
After two hours of flying the air hostess and two other men are going into the pilot’s cabin.
Then after a few minutes the airhostess comes out of the pilot’s cabin, but now with an automatic rifle in her hands.
Then they land at an other airfield.
After a short time they hear a bell ring, and than they hear a man’s voice that tells them that the plane is hijacked. He tells that they are the People’s Liberation Army, and that they are doing this to get their two captive brothers free.
The prime minister of the country drives to that airfield to make a deal with the hijackers and to make a plan to capture the hijackers. But it isn’t easy because the hijackers want their dangerous brothers back and that must be done in just one hour.
The prisoners are too late at their destination so one passenger gets killed.
Then the hijackers ask all the passports of the hostages, but Harald knows that if they will see that Carl is the husband of the prime minister he will be the next one they will kill.
So he put the passport of Carl into the coffee and tore it in pieces without making any sound. Then he ate it!
But later the hijackers see Carl’s picture in the newspaper with his name under it.
They let one of the prisoners go to the airplane in exchange for one hundred passengers. Then the prime minister lets the plane refuel with two bushes, but in one of them there are FBI agents in it and they throw smoke bombs into the plane and shoot the hijackers down. They capture the hijackers and free the passengers.
