ABBEY'S BOOKSELLER PICK ----- Calling all passengers for Flight 416 to New York. Your flight is now boarding at Gate 5. This is the last call for Flight 416. Please make your way to the gate now.
The list of names lining up to give their nod of approval to this in-flight thriller is impressive... Rankin, Child, Patterson, McKinty, Evanovich, Winslow, McTiernan, Gabaldon, Cavanagh.
The set-up is dramatic - a flight where the captain is given a shocking choice by terrorists: Crash the plane or your family dies. The difference is that this attack is being managed from the ground, not by a forceful takeover on the plane itself, however a terrorist is concealed among those on board. The character of Jo as Senior Flight Attendant is particularly strong as she works through how best to support her Captain. The terror of the family held hostage and the extreme pressure on the Captain is compelling. So too the terrorists are given pathos and some degree of empathy, without undermining the gross transgressions their actions represent.
If you are wanting a fast-paced, conundrum thriller then this is for you. Just perhaps wait until you've safely landed before cracking this one open for your holiday reading. Craig Kirchner
There are one hundred and forty-three other passengers onboard.
What you don't know is that thirty minutes before the flight your pilot's family was kidnapped.
For his family to live, everyone on your plane must die.
The only way the family will survive is if the pilot follows his orders and crashes the plane.
Enjoy the flight.
