  On 5 September 1986, a gang of terrorists took over a Pan Am jumbo jet at Karachi Airport, Pakistan. The flight crew escaped, leading to a siege. The leader of the gang shot a passenger and threw his body out to show they meant business. He ordered a flight attendant to collect the passengers' passports. She was sure he would kill an American, so she bravely concealed any American passports with western names and faces. Frustrated and angry, he picked a British passport, and the flight attendant announced "Will Michael John Thexton please come to the front of the plane?" A haggard man with straggly hair and a long beard went forward. A three-year old Indian girl asked her parents, "What happened to the hippy man?"Mike Thexton was held at the front of the plane for twelve hours, waiting to be shot. When the ground power unit failed and the plane became dark, the terrorists put him back with the others, before opening fire indiscriminately. At least 20 people died and over a hundred were injured, but Mike escaped by jumping off the wing of the plane and running away, sure that he would wake up and find himself still kneeling by the front door.This book tells the story of Mike's journey to Pakistan to say goodbye to his brother, who died in the Karakoram mountains in 1983 - his extraordinary bad and good luck on flight PA073 - the heroism of the flight attendants - and the long aftermath of one of the bloodiest terrrorist atrocities of the 1980s. After the leader of the gang was sentenced to 160 years in an American jail in 2004, Mike wrote a print book to tell the story up to that point. Since then the story has been retold in two documentaries - on Discovery and Sky - and in the Indian thriller "Neerja". Mike's part in the Sky documentary has finally given him the answer to a question that has puzzled him for thirty-five years: "Why didn't they shoot me?" The print book has been updated to complete the story, which comes full circle back to Mike's brother.

  Oranges

  A classic of reportage, Oranges was first conceived as a magazine article, but John McPhee kept encountering so much irresistible information that he wrote a book. It is perhaps the last word on the subject (the first came in 500 BC and is attributed to Confucius). McPhee writes about the botany, history, and industry of oranges, from the great orangeries of European monarchs to a fascinating profile of Ben Hill Griffin of Frostproof, Florida, who may be the last of the individual orange barons. 
   
   
   
  Oranges developed in Southeast Asia, and they spread through the world with a timing closely parallel to the spread of Western civilization. It was Columbus himself who brought the first orange seeds to the New World. Botanically, they are spectacularly complicated. They can be completely unripe when they are a brilliant orange and deliciously ripe when they are green as emeralds. Citrus is so genetically perverse that oranges can grow from lime seeds. Most Florida oranges grow on lemon roots. Louis XIV hung tapestries of oranges in the halls of Versailles because oranges and orange trees were the symbols of his nature and his reign. This book, in a sense, is a tapestry of oranges, too—with elements in it that range from the customs of French kings to those of people in the modern Caribbean who split oranges and clean floors with them, one half in each hand.
