The Impractical Philosopher

Indigo Air Flight 317 is hijacked on the way to Mumbai, India, landing on a dry lakebed in Pakistan. Passengers Paul and Marie Dennifin, retired geologists, are driven with all the other passengers to a mountain hideout. There, Paul intervenes with Andam, the leader of the Pashtuns, who seek to establish their own homeland. Paul must bargain, but the only collateral for the eventual freedom of the hostages is himself. He must escape to save his beloved Marie and disrupt the diabolical plans of a rival political group threatening the lives of millions with a new Final Solution. Will freedom ring or will death take its ultimate toll?
