New novel “High Wire” by Kam Majd is released. A suspenseful, thrilling story of a pilot’s race against time to save the passengers aboard a plane infected with a madman’s computer virus
“High Wire” by Kam Majd has been released worldwide. This riveting, 286-page novel, which has achieved Amazon Bestseller status as the #1 New Release and #2 Bestseller in the “Terrorism” category, and #35 in the “Political” category, follows Captain Kate Gallagher, an airline pilot who finds herself under vicious scrutiny in the aftermath of a plane crash. Unbeknownst to the public, a computer virus has caused the crash, and Captain Gallagher must face humiliation and blame, fighting impossible odds to clear her name – all while trying to protect her young daughter in the process. Kate is a widow, a mother, and a first generation immigrant whose drive to do the right thing finds her in the midst of a treacherous plot. As the story unfolds, she uncovers a massive conspiracy and the target of the next attack. With less than two hours before 262 passengers are dead, Kate Gallagher will climb her way back into the pilot’s seat, and up into the air in a life-and-death race against time with the computer code that is wired, running, and ready to kill again…. And the price for saving all those lives may be only one: hers.
Called “absorbing and seductive” by Publishers Weekly, this compelling novel pits a practical, sympathetic heroine against the worst humanity has to offer.
An Edgar® Award finalist, this suspenseful novel draws on the author’s 44 years of piloting experience to provide a deep look into aviation technology and security, and his own background as an immigrant to breathe life and nuance into Captain Gallagher.
Blacklist and Friday Night Lights’ screenwriter Patrick Masset describes the novel as, “A thrilling ride all the way from the brilliant setup to the gripping payoff. Kate Gallagher is a first-rate progressive heroine… She’s Erin Brockovich meets Jack Ryan.”
An intense, unpredictable ride from start to finish, the book combines the big thrills of action and mystery with the relatability of an “everywoman” main character that drives readers to question how they would contend with similar circumstances, and keeps them in the grips of excitement throughout.
