Pure escapist entertainment perfect for a summer beach read!
A plane is enroute to JKF but there is more going on than an everyday flight. The pilot’s family has been taken hostage and Captain Bill Hoffman is given the choice of whether his family dies, or he crashes the plane. The 3 flight attendants rally to the cause of protecting the 149 souls on board. The threat is real and the hijackers have not yet made their last stand.
I’ve read two other airline disaster books recently and this was definitely the best of the lot. It was a fast and fun and, though the ending was not unexpected, I enjoyed the ride. The author is a former airline flight attendant and does write with an insider’s viewpoint which made the story a bit more believable. The characters are really well drawn and I enjoyed how even the more minor ones really got fair play in the narrative. What I did not particularly enjoy, however, is the political message in the subtext, but I decided to raise this rating despite that and wonder why authors keep doing this.
Predictable but highly engaging, I think readers will enjoy reading this book though may have a few qualms about any next flights they have lined up.
Thank you to NetGalley and Avid Reader Press for the e-book ARC to read and review.
This is a standalone and is not part of any series.
