RESISTORS

A Cyprus Airways flight attendant resists the Turkish occupation of her country by participating in covert raids against their installations. When she helps a Greek-American security consultant resolve a skyjacking aboard one of her flights, they launch a passionate relationship complicated both by vengeful Palestinians and the consultant's prior romantic involvement. Abduction, rescue at sea, forced separation, and murder interrupt the love affair, but not the quest of the terrorists for retribution. The action in Resistors moves between the U.S. and the Eastern Mediterranean, integrating scenarios that haunt America's consciousness: small town America and big-city hotels; skyjackings and vengeance-seeking Palestinian terrorists; Vietnam and Hinckley's attempted assassination of Reagan. Each player in this international intrigue is flawed, but strong. All refuse to be victims
