When George Spencer, a salesman trouble-shooter, catches the last seat on a charter plane at Winnipeg, the flight seems like any other. The passengers are ordinary people heading to an important ball game, and the crew is well-trained. However, after departing from Toronto, they encounter local ground fog, causing a delay. As they embark on the final leg of their journey across 1,500 miles of rugged mountainous terrain to Vancouver, an emergency unfolds. The reader experiences the nerve-wracking tension of a dire situation nearly four miles above the earth, gaining insight into the challenges of controlling a modern airliner while following the urgent developments on the ground. Flight into Danger is a gripping tale of suspense, showcasing the collaboration between John Castle and Arthur Hailey, both renowned for their realistic storytelling and attention to detail.

Artist John Castle was allowed behind the scenes at many royal occasions so that he could view these events from the Queen's perspective. His stunning collection of watercolor paintings is a beautiful and lasting record of the Monarchy and its role at the center of Britain's heritage.

Seržant Charles Coward je v roce 1940 zajat ve Francii a rozhodne se vést vlastní soukromou válku proti Němcům. Několik let se mu daří vodit je za nos, sabotovat, škodit jim a přenášet cenné informace do Anglie. S pomocí polských ilegálních skupin dodával zbraně a dynamit vězňům, kupoval mrtvá těla a s jejich pomocí postupně zorganizoval útěk čtyř stovek vězňů s Osvětimi. Nakonec se sám "propašoval" do Osvětimi, vmísil se mezi zajatce a byl nucen opět prchnout aby unikl popravě. Je to jeden z nejúžasnějších příběhů odvahy a hrdinství v druhé světové válce.
