Captain Marcus Hale soared over the Rockies when a sudden systems failure darkened the cockpit. Warning alarms shrieked. Passengers stirred, sensing something was wrong. But Marcus stayed focused, recalling a passage from the Fasten Your Seat Belts book —a harrowing tale of a pilot who overcame chaos with calm precision. He rerouted power, initiated manual control, and radioed calmly for emergency descent. The crew followed his lead flawlessly. Within minutes, the aircraft leveled, danger averted. As relief swept the cabin, Marcus smiled faintly. That book hadn’t just entertained him—it had prepared him for this very moment. Sometimes, fiction becomes survival training.
