Books with author Elleston Trevor

A cargo plane crash lands in the Central Libyan desert during a violent sandstorm. Twelve men and a monkey survive. They stare without hope into the desert sky: search planes will not seek their unscheduled flight. One man proposes the impossible--to build from the wreckage an aircraft capable of flying them 200 miles to the nearest oasis. But the pilot refuses to cooperate and this struggle becomes the pivot for survival or death. THE FLIGHT OF THE PHOENIX launched Elleston Trevor's remarkable career. Trevor writes not only under his own name but also as Adam Hall, creator of the award-winning Quiller stories.

An aircraft goes down in the Sahara Desert, leaving its passengers at the mercy of horrific conditions that threaten to tear them apart and destroy them all during a long three-week survival ordeal. Reissue. (A Twentieth Century Fox film, releasing Fall 2004, directed by John Moore, starring Dennis Quaid, Tyrese Gibson, Miranda Otto, Giovanni Ribisi, & Scott Michael Campbell) (Suspense)

[This is the Audiobook CD Library Edition in vinyl case.] *Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award* They are twelve men who shouldn't be alive. They have survived the sudden blinding sandstorm that crippled their air freighter. Survived a desperate crash landing in the Sahara of Central Libya. Survived to face the slow, dry, agonizing death of the desert. Twelve men with one hope: to build a new plane from the wreckage of their Skytruck and make a flight out of hell. Only one man could build such a plane: Stringer, the brilliant and obsessed engineer. Only one man could fly it: Towns, the arrogant and tormented pilot. Both had been aboard the Skytruck, but both are mortal enemies whose consuming hatred for each other is a danger greater than the desert itself. [This All-Time Classic Thriller was twice made into a major motion picture in 1965 & in 2004]
