Description
The first attack comes without warning. A small model-kit airplane flies down from the stands and buzzes the mound, where a decorated veteran pilot is about to throw out the first ball. It's just a prank or a publicity stunt, everyone thinks - until it explodes, killing dozens. Seconds later, a swarm of killer drones descends upon the panicked crowd, each one carrying a powerful bomb. The attacks escalate as a computer virus infects the autopilot of a commercial airline, turning it into a drone that destroys an entire neighborhood. A squadron of F-15s is remote-hijacked, leaving an Air Force base in flames. Someone has developed software that can turn any aircraft into a drone. Joe Ledger and his team must track down the source of this new technology and the madmen behind it before it's too late. The virus infects Air Force One, trapping the president on board as the jet heads towards New York City. It has become Predator One - a deadly threat to the nation's safety.
