Sky Ship

By Robert P McAuley

You've seen "Die Hard," which took place in an office building; "Die Hard Two: Die Harder," in an airport; "Passenger 57," starring Wesley Snipes -- a sort of "Die Hard" in an airplane; "Under Siege" starring Steven Seagal aboard a U.S. Navy battleship, a kind of "Die Hard" on a ship; and "Speed" -- "Die Hard" on a bus.
Now, "Die Hard" has been re-imagined as an action adventure on the greatest airship ever created: a state-of-the-art, aircraft carrier-sized zeppelin. The era of the great airship –- when monsters of the sky such as the Graf Zeppelin and the Hindenburg made trans-Atlantic flights -- is re-visited; but this time, the new zeppelin, Sky Ship, is a marvel of ultra-modern technology and luxuries. Sky Ship lifts off on its maiden voyage from its home base in Florida, taking high-rolling passengers on a majestic, low-altitude tour of the South American coast. Among the travelers is a team of terrorists (masquerading as a mideast international soccer club) led by Col. Abdul Aziz of the militant Republic of Irajh. The Colonel's mission: to take control of the airship and use it to attack a meeting of OPEC with deadly nerve gas.The resulting chaos will leave the world's oil companies in crisis -- a crisis that the Republic of Irajh has positioned itself to take advantage of by hoarding oil for years: Irajh will corner the world market on oil and dominate the tinderbox that is the mideast.

Born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, I now reside in Long Beach, N.Y. I worked in New York City as an Art Director for 3 different magazines one of which was UFO magazine. I've been writing short stories for the past 20 years and found Time Travel to be my favorite topic. After writing Time Travel Adventures of the 1800 Club: Book 1, I wrote books 2 through 18 and am presently working on book 19. In between I've penned a young adult time travel book, two aviation trivia books, a book about a family of vampires, a romantic western and another time travel book plus 'Sky Ship', a high-action thriller.
