How to investigate an incident that hasn't yet happened?
Miranda Chase may be the nation's top air-crash specialist, but not even her autistic mind can analyze a crash that...isn't one.
The UK Prime Minister's personal jet sits intact on the tarmac at a Colorado Space Force base. But for how long? They've received a threat that the plane will explode if anyone tries to deplane. No matter the cause, a UK Prime Minister murdered on US soil won't end well.
To maintain the peace, Miranda must solve the crisis before it blows up into a disaster.

Miranda Chase’s Office
Tacoma Narrows Airport
Tacoma, Washington
How soon can you be in Colorado?
It depends on multiple factors, Roy.
Miranda never understood how people could ask such non-specific questions. She’d observed that they frequently did. Which then turned into follow-up questions and other sidetracks.
Of course, she hadn’t dealt directly with the President that often. She usually talked to Drake, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, when a military air-crash crisis arose. Perhaps Roy didn’t understand the full implications of this question.
My flight time is dependent on where in Colorado. From my office at Tacoma Narrows Airport in Washington State, the nearest airfield of any size, Yampa Valley Regional, lies nine hundred miles away, but Lamar Municipal is twelve hundred. Then there’s mode of transport. If I fly alone in my F-86 Sabrejet, I can be there at Lamar in two hours including preflight. If I bring the team, it will take over three hours as some of them are at the team house plus the slower airspeed for my Citation M2 twinjet.
All in all, Miranda was finding living in the team house in Gig Harbor a little alarming, but she didn’t have much choice. Her home on the family island had recently burned down in an intense forest fire. Though the design of the new home was done, the contractors hadn’t yet finished removing the burned-out structures of the old one. She’d considered placing a large trailer on the island to live in but didn’t like seeing the contractors disturbing her island with their loud machines and louder voices.
It wasn’t that she minded overnighting with the team in Gig Harbor. But spending every day in the same house with three other people was
