Omega Days (Book 2): Ship Of The Dead - Plot & Excerpts
The crash of gunfire thundered in the tight hallway, muzzle flashes reflected in the pooling fuel and splitting the vaporous air. “No!” Xavier cried, involuntarily ducking, expecting the bright flash that would herald ignition and death. It didn’t come. JP-5, also called AVCAT for aviation carrier turbine fuel, was kerosene-based, a complex mixture of hydrocarbons, alkanes, naphthenes, and aromatic hydrocarbons. It was highly flammable with explosive vapors; those who handled it without proper gear were at constant risk of being incapacitated by benzene fumes. Both Rosa and Brother Peter felt the hallway spin as they became light-headed and had to hold on to the walls to keep from falling. Because of its nature and the dangerous environment of jet aircraft operating on a busy flight deck, AVCAT had been designed with a flash point of 140 degrees and had to be moderately heated before it would ignite.
