I really enjoyed this book, other than the continual changing from one character to another. It was very informative as to the way airports workers are not necessarily screened and watched very well. I fly a lot, so this was a little scary! It was a well written story however!
I enjoyed the whole book.
Airliner Down by John Etzil is an action packed aviation thriller. Plot lines converge in a suspense filled, action packed, nail biting, life or death situation. This was an exciting read.
This was the best book to read. I couldn’t put it down. You felt like you were on the plane with everyone. I highly recommend this book and look forward to more books by this author.
Over 4000 flight hours as an Aircrewman in the US Navy, and years as a frequent flyer had me identifying with the crew members and good guys. Realistic and therefore a more intense read. What a great ride.
This was a good book however not a page Turner. It did not hold my interest and I found myself putting it down often because it was not holding my interest. As I have found in many books, the author seems to be trying to stretch out and fill the ending with a lot of non interesting verbiage. It seemed that this stretching out of the ending was an attempt to add pages to make the book longer. Not the best book I have read but by far not the worst. Once I put it down I was not compelled to pick it up to continue reading.
My husband should read it for the technical details.
I loved it!
This is the first time I have read a book by John Etzil but definitely will not be the last. I will now look for his books as this kept me on the edge of my seat and was very hard to put down even when I was too tired to keep reading. Hope all of his books are this edge of your seat and entertaining
This is a different disaster book. It occurs in the sky, not with ground officials trying to help. The plane is on it’s own with no possible help coming. It of course brings back our Arab terrorists from 9-11. If you want to know the technical aspects of large commercial jets, this is the guy to tell you. It’s all about knowing the systems so that the hero and his helpers can keep the wounded plane flying. It is different and worth reading. Jerry Weber
Had me hooked from the first page. Was a quick read because I couldn’t put it down. Also have second thoughts about ever flying again because something like this could really happen with today’s world the way it is. Throughly enjoyed the book.
An excellent aviation story with loads of action. Wonderful characters with one of them spinning off into great stories and books of his own. A real page turner.
Started out well, but became too unrealistic for my tastes.
Great book.. Had trouble putting it down..
Excellent read!
If you have a fear of flying this is not a book for you. Fortunately for those of us who fly there are pilots who can quickly process unexpected situations and determine actions needed to protect the lives they are entrusted with. A passenger in this case became such a hero.
A suspense filled journey in a lifelike scenario. This could happen but so rarely does in reality. This was a very well thought out book with great characters.
I couldn’t put it down & had to read it in one night.
This book was very exciting and held my interest. If you like airline stories, you will like this book.
Very good.
