THE ZERO OPTION
A novel based on the fate of Korean Air Lines Flight #007 that was shot down by a Soviet SU-15 into the Sea of Japan off Sakhalin Island in the early morning hours of September 1, 1983, so the media reported.

Of the many questions still unsatisfactorily unanswered about the fate of KAL 007, one is way out in front: what happened to the wreckage? Where did it go? How could a plane weighing close to half a million pounds hit the water without leaving a slick of baggage, cushions, trays, underwear and body parts a couple of miles wide?

Answer: It can’t. So if there was no wreckage, either it crashed somewhere else or it never crashed at all. THE ZERO OPTION is fiction done in a way that is entirely and brilliantly believable.
