WOW, what a story, wrapped in and around world events and decisions. For a 1st book, Newman did an outstanding job of keeping the reader engaged and enthralled. Hard to put down, pretty emotional at the end.

Amazing story, I found it Captivating, I thought about my own flight experience and what kind of a soul I would be. I never had an experience as traumatic as this group of great souls, thanks to the author for this intensive but informative story alive.

It started slow and I was ready to move on to the next downloaded book on my iPad - I’m glad that I didn’t!

This thriller has a slam-bang take off but loses altitude hall way through until it comes in for a silly landing. Quite readable, though not quite as entertaining as one of the old Airport movies of the seventies.

This is definitely a can’t put down page turner. The predicaments are suspenseful and the characters are likeable. The story line was a bit too predictable (Middle Eastern terrorists, white saviors, loose cannon FBI agent, and an injured hero that hangs on just long enough to save the day). The biggest problem I had with the plot was the coincidence that the lead flight attendant just happened to have a nephew who worked for the FBI, and was assigned to the LA office, and he was just rogue enough to emerge as a hero. (Insert eye roll). Good summer read, however.

Wow, great read.I will never,ever look at flight the same way . Felt like I was right there in aisle seat the whole way. But will rethink taking a flight soon.

Let me start off saying, I NEVER read books. I can’t stand sitting for long…and I never take time to read because of that. This book though, I couldn’t put it down. I read it in a matter of a month (which is about 14 years faster than the last book I read). If you like aviation. If you like suspense. If you like cliff hangers. Read this.

I loved it. I can’t even describe how good this book is. Fully recommended.

Quick and exciting read! Being a retired flight attendant I felt the events on the jet were realistic and not hokey as some aviation books/movies can be. I liked the way the author moved back and forth from the events in the air to those on the ground. This story would make a great movie!

I read a lot of books that feature suspense, twists and turns, memorable characters, and a coveting ending. This book did not disappoint
