4 Stars!!! 4 action packed stars!! If you are looking for a fast paced thriller.

Kudos to Mr. T.J Newman for writing this masterpiece, but also to Steve Weber for his awesome narration . 

Page one of this book has your interest and I was fully into this book until the very last word!!

Remember movies like Air Force One, Passenger 57 or Executive Decision this is those movies modernized in a book version. So much in fact I can see this being a movie.

Flight 416 LAX-JFK gets hijacked and Capitan Bill Hoffman and his flight crew must prevent the terrorist from successfully achieving their goal of crashing the plan. As with all terrorist they have something very personal to Bill to help provide him motivation to carry out their wishes. 

If you enjoy actiony thrillers this is definitely a book to add to you TBR. 

**I'm glad I didn't let some of the reviews hold me back from enjoying this book**

Whoa! I feel like I just watched a new Marvel Avengers movie except all of the heroes in this story are just regular humans! The action and suspense begin on Page 1 Line 1 and barely let’s you take a breath until the last few pages. I can’t wait to see the movie now and I know it is in the works. I already had cast members in my head as I was reading, before I checked on the potential screen status. I really appreciated the overall take on world knowledge, self-education, and most importantly, the them of empathy that is threaded throughout this book and all of its characters. I was surprised this was a debut novel and hope to read more from Ms. Newman in the future.

Okkkk let’s just say the first chapter was FUCKING AWESOME. Then he woke up and it become boring. I didn’t mind the first half of the book but I was just soooo annoyed that the beginning sequence didn’t actually happen. So tired of reading thrillers where nothing DEPRESSING happens I mean what the hell is it actually giving me that I want. Not a lot. T.J is a good writer I enjoyed that but still like come let’s kill some fake characters.

I am so mad at myself for letting this sit on my shelf for so long. This thriller was absolutely terrifying and literally had me on the edge of my seat. Don’t wait, read this masterpiece.
