For thirty-year-old captain Scott McKay, the carry run from Miami to Denver gives him the money he desperately needs to keep his fledgling air cargo company soaring. When a strange crate is uncovered on his aircraft, however, McKay is bought to forego his present course and travel the crate and its own owner, Vivian Henry, to Washington, D.C., prior to going to Denver. McKay takes the forced detour in stride - until a strange noise comes from profound inside the kennel. It is the tone of Vivian's hubby, Dr. Rogers Henry, caution that the shipment they are taking is actually a fully armed Medusa device, a thermonuclear bomb that can destroy every computer chip over a whole continent, and blast the Silicon Era back to the Stone Era. Which is set to go off within hours.
As panic spreads from the small community of nuclear researchers who used to help Dr. Rogers Henry to the White House and finally to the general public, a group of rogue military officers conspires to disobey the President's requests and secure the technology of the Medusa device, whatever the cost. Will Captain McKay and his staff trust their own intuition to dispose of the bomb, or will they let a misguided federal dictate their activities?
