Flight 19 Part II by Grant Finnegan

What a satisfying conclusion to the mystery of Flight 19. You must read the first book in this duo first in order to appreciate this fun, fast-paced and imaginative tale. NOTE: many people have suggested that this story line is similar to a TV show called "Manifest" that happens to have a similar premise with the time travel aspect via the plane. That is the only element that connects the show with this book as nothing else is remotely alike. I believe this set of books would make a much better television drama.

It's about 7 months after Flight 19 reappeared in 2024 and the passengers and crew have started to adjust to being thrust 5 years into the future. Their lives have been significantly altered, some for the better and some for the worse. The shocks and surprises they faced were also laced with some tender and romantic liaisons and our main characters are weathering the storm their reappearance has caused. At the end of book one, some of the passengers and crew from the ill-fated flight have agreed to take another trip on the Airbus that took them into the future. Unfortunately, this trip doesn't go as planned. NO SPOILERS.

I loved meeting up with the characters I grew to love in the first installment and was very happy with all things turned out for everyone. I liked the futuristic and secretive pieces of the story as well as the human drama that played out. The author's writing style is very engaging and it was easy to read this in a single sitting. I'm sad to see the story end and hope to hear more from this talented author in the future.

This is the follow-up to the first book, Flight 19 and they should be read in order.
