| Review Summary |
Group of people on an airplane find themselves alone in a strange place on earth. They are trying to understand where they are and later find out that they went back in time. Ugly monsters, the Langoliers attack them in their way to "eat" the past. The people find their way back through the hole in the time matter and appear in the present.

This is a very interesting story about an airliner load of people that wake up in a different world! Follow along in the mystery and suspense as they search for the truth and try to get back to real life! An all around pretty good book. Found as a 250 page story in "Four Past Midnight" available at bookstores.
