Night Without End"Snow-White ... Blood-Red Seconds ago the passengers were sitting in the cozy security of their pressurized cabin with a controlled temperature of 70. Then the crash, the tearing, jagged screeching as the plane ripped along the ice and snow. the tidal wave of the dreadful cold, 40 below zero, swept in and engulfed the survivors-the dazed, the injured, the S and the dying-as they sat in the crumpled wreckage of their seats, wearing only thin suits and dresses. And so began the terrible arctic night, a night without end, where the darkness would bring with it murder and betrayal and cowardice. And the chilling knowledge that among them was a ruthless agent determined to carry out his desperate mission."--Jacket |
