Book description
What if a miraculous plane landing was no miracle? In the vein of Christopher Buckley and Gary Shteyngart, Jon Methven reimagines such an event as a PR stunt in this biting, hilarious satire on the culture of hero worship and celebrity.
A PILOT, A JOURNALIST, AND A SEMEN TRAFFICKER WALK ONTO A PLANE . . .
When flight AW2921 crashes into the Hudson River and all 162 passengers survive, it's a Monday morning miracle. What the rapturous public doesn't know: the whole thing was staged as a last-ditch attempt at resurrecting the Air Wanderlust stock price.
Captain Hank Swagger piloted the miracle plane into the river. Disgraced TV news anchor Lucy Springer was "luckily" the only reporter on board, and the first to capture the story. Con man Normal Fulk recently faked his own death to escape the consequences of his barely legal career as a celebrity semen trafficker. Toting his last big score--the "John Lennon"--Normal has to leave it behind on the sinking plane or risk being identified and arrested.
In the aftermath of the crash and the chaotic week that follows, Lucy, Normal, and Captain Swagger are all about to discover what it means to be at the center of a miracle that is anything but.
When a public relations group covertly stages a no-casualty, heroic plane crash to improve an airline's stock, its captain, a news anchor, and a man who faked his death are all involved.
