Prologue


The copilot gazed out of the cockpit window at the thousands of people
gathered near the terminal and gulped. "If we crash, I'll be so
embarrassed."

"You won't be the only one," the captain muttered.

"I didn't realize President Toland planned to invite everyone in the
Civilized Zone to witness our takeoff," the copilot said.

The captain laughed."Sure looks like he did, doesn't it? There must be
four thousand out there, but most are from Denver."

"What if we blow it, Skip?"

"We won't, Bob."

"I wish I had your confidence."

They both tensed as a voice crackled in their headsets.
 "Captain Orton, this is your friendly controller in the tower speaking.
Do you copy or are you peeing your pants?"

The captain grinned. "I copy, Max. What's up?"

"I just wanted to see if you're still awake," Max responded.

"We're raring to go," Captain Orton said.

"Between you and me, Skip, I wouldn't want to be in your shoes," Max
commented.

"I wouldn't want you in my shoes either," Captain Orton quipped.
