About
The cables go out to grounded, disgraced pilots, enticing them: 'Can Use Experienced Pilot, Best Planes in Flying Field This Part of the World.' The reality of service in the Trans-Andean Air Service of Delgado, Argentina, is far different, and far deadlier than expected. Under the ruthless stewardship of Ellis, an international band of desperate airmen quickly find their souls in hock to the company store while taking to the air between the frozen peaks of the Andes.
