DARK OPEN SKY – THE DISAPPEARANCE OF FLIGHT MH370 A Gripping Conspiracy Thriller Inspired by the Real-Life Vanishing of Malaysian Flight 370 What really happened to Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370? On March 8, 2014, a Boeing 777 carrying 239 passengers and crew vanished in mid-flight. No mayday. No crash site. No answers. In this fast-paced, chillingly plausible techno-thriller, award-winning author Tom McAuliffe dives into one of the most enduring aviation mysteries of our time—blending real-world satellite data, geopolitical intrigue, and cutting-edge technology into a story that feels terrifyingly close to the truth. When Flight 370 disappears over the South China Sea, CIA analyst Julian Cross suspects more than pilot error or mechanical failure. A secret NSA signal points to Diego Garcia—a shadowy U.S. military base in the Indian Ocean. As the world searches for answers, Cross teams up with rogue signals intelligence expert Samira Holt to expose a conspiracy buried beneath AI, global politics, black ops, and classified ops. Why were 20 world-class semiconductor engineers aboard the plane? What did the home flight simulator logs from Captain Zaharie Shah's home reveal? In this pseudo-fictional account we explore the possibilities. Why did he do it and what if MH370… didn't crash at all?
