The Pattern

Pattern series

The FAA mandated that all airplanes have wind shear detection and warning systems installed by January 1, 1994. An unprecedented number of Americans died in airplane crashes in 1994. Did one programming error kill hundreds of people in airplane crashes? A handful of west coast computer geeks know the answer. After reading The Pattern, you will too. Follow auto-pilot programmer Craig Walsh and his beautiful engineer girlfriend Stacey "Jack" Horner as they unwittingly create, and then confront, a malicious computer virus that seems destined to destroy air travel as we know it...
