When the plane engines died, the silence that followed never really ended.Grounded after a mysterious midair disaster, Daniel Raines drifts through a decaying world that has forgotten how to dream of the sky. Volume 2 of Flightpath to Nowhere, Echoes in the Black Box is a haunting story of learning how to fall with grace.Haunted by fragments of memory and by Ava-the woman he lost when his plane went down-he begins to sense that his fall was never just an accident. Across ghost towns and empty runways, he encounters others caught in the same quiet freefall: a mechanic who speaks of machines as living ghosts, an air-traffic controller with dangerous knowledge, and a child who believes flight is still possible.As Daniel pieces together the invisible system that brought him down, he discovers that the age of flight itself may be ending, and that the ground beneath humanity's feet is no safer than the skies above.
