In the Super Bowl of the airline industry, there are two opposing sides: Airbus of Europe versus Boeing of America. Both sides have only one goal
- to become the world`s leading aircraft maker. This is the remarkable account of Airbus` launch of the largest passenger plane ever to fly, how they risked everything in a heavyweight contest, where the money is staggering, & the political stakes are high. The Airbus A380 will be a monster above the clouds with gyms, a nightclub in the sky, & a 550 passenger capacity vs Boeing`s super efficient long distance Dreamliner`s 200-350. Will the A380 super-jumbo succeed when it is launched in 2006? With Boeing determined that it will fail, the stakes are high. This amazing story of rivalry & risk is a fascinating insight to both Airbus & Boeing, as they take their steps to take-off.

Fasten your seatbelts for an anthology of turbulent tales curated by Stephen King & Bev Vincent. This exciting new collection, perfect for airport or aeroplane reading,

Includes::
an original introduction & story notes for each story by Stephen King, & brand new stories from Stephen King & Joe Hill. Stephen King hates to fly. Now he & co-editor Bev Vincent would like to share this fear of flying with you. Welcome to Flight or Fright, an anthology about all the things that can go horribly wrong when you`re suspended six miles in the air, hurtling through space at more than 500 mph & sealed up in a metal tube (like
- gulp!
- a coffin) with hundreds of strangers. All the ways your trip into the friendly skies can turn into a nightmare, including some we`ll bet you`ve never thought of before... but now you will the next time you walk down the jetway & place your fate in the hands of a total stranger. Featuring brand new stories by Joe Hill & Stephen King, as well as fourteen classic tales & one poem from the likes of Richard Matheson, Ray Bradbury, Roald Dahl, Dan Simmons, & many others, Flight or Fright is, as King says, ”ideal airplane reading, especially on stormy descents... Even if you are safe on the ground, you might want to buckle up nice & tight.” Book a flight for this terrifying new anthology that will have you thinking twice about how you want to reach your final destination.
