Atlantis: The Origin Mystery
Airborne
Seventy thousand years ago, the human race was nearly wiped out.
We survived, but just barely.
AIRBORNE is the story of a plague that has been unleashed to finish the job. To determine how many will live… and how many will die.
Dr. Melissa Van Meer is flying back east to give a presentation that could get her out of the lab and in front of the people with money--money for grants to fund her research into life-saving inoculations for children in developing countries. She’s heard about the flu that’s racing around the world, but isn’t alarmed. After her years growing up in India, where she acquired some scars of her own, she’s seen far worse.
Until she gets on a plane where one by one the passengers are dying.
The pilot is unconscious. The other doctors are gone. The airport is closed.
Melissa’s no hero. But she’s all they’ve got.

Wonderful book!
I had meant to read this short book for quite some time. Finally did and it was truly worth it.

Airborne is a good short story. It's written in The Origin Mystery "world" but it is a stand-alone book. You needn't read anything else to enjoy it. My first time reader this author, Fitzgerald does a good job painting a picture with her words, although short, it was engaging and a page turner. I enjoyed Airborne and would recommend it to others.

It's another great story among The Origin Mystery series. I like that it takes place all over the course of one flight. Rather exciting.
