For thirty-year-old captain Scott McKay, the
transport run from Miami to Denver will give him the money
he desperately needs to keep his fledgling air cargo company
flying. When a mysterious crate is discovered on his plane,
however, McKay is ordered to abandon his present course
and fly the crate and its owner, Vivian Henry, to Washington,
D.C., before going to Denver. McKay takes the forced detour
in stride--until a strange noise comes from deep inside
the crate. It is the voice of Vivian's husband, Dr. Rogers
Henry, warning that the shipment they are carrying is actually
a fully armed Medusa device, a thermonuclear bomb that can
destroy every computer chip over an entire continent, and
blast the Silicon Age back to the Stone Age. And it is set
to go off within hours.
As panic spreads from the small community of nuclear
scientists who used to work for Dr. Rogers Henry to the White House and
eventually to the general public, a group of rogue military officers
conspires to disobey the President's orders and secure the technology of the
Medusa device, whatever the cost. Will Captain McKay and his crew trust their
own instincts to dispose of the bomb, or will they let a misguided government
dictate their actions.
