Michael Tranter was going to fly around the world. Solo. In a very special plane built to his own design.
The flight would raise millions in sponsorship for worldwide charities. And be worth millions in publicity for his computers-to-airlines business empire.
The empire that, beneath the bold, bright surface, was beginning to fall apart.
His back-up pilot, strictly for PR purposes, was Ruth Clifford. Not that she'd ever get her hands on the controls. That wasn't part of his plan.
