Summary:
Two years after an injury in the Gulf War ended his military career, Dr John Watson is settling into an ordinary, predictable life. He's got a steady job, a fiancee, and everything's great...right? Flying to Boston for a medical conference, he finds himself seated next to a beguiling and oddly familiar American. When the plane is hijacked, John is back on the battlefield, but this time he's not fighting the Republican Guard in the desert. He's fighting a cold, calculating lunatic for the lives of the passengers- especially the American. Their chance meeting has dredged up a regret that John has carried for fifteen years. Can he redeem himself? And when it's over can he go back to his old life? Does he want to?
