Non-Fiction Biography
Only four men survived the plane crash. The pilot. A
politician. A cop... and the criminal he was shackled to. On an icy night in October 1984, a commuter plane carrying
nine passengers crashed in the remote wilderness of northern
Alberta, killing six people. Four survived: the rookie
pilot, a prominent politician, a cop, and the criminal he
was escorting to face charges. Despite the poor weather,
Erik Vogel, the 24-year-old pilot, was under intense
pressure to fly. Larry Shaben, the author's father and
Canada's first Muslim Cabinet Minister, was commuting home
after a busy week at the Alberta Legislature. Constable
Scott Deschamps was escorting Paul Archambault, a drifter
wanted on an outstanding warrant. Against regulations,
Archambault's handcuffs were removed-a decision that would
profoundly impact the men's survival. As the men fight through the night to stay alive, the
dividing lines of power, wealth, and status are erased, and
each man is forced to confront the precious and limited
nature of his existence.
