What a well researched book and well explained so it felt natural. I'm an aviation fan so a lot of the terminology I was familiar with but it was. Pacing was fast and it unravelled really well. The portrayal of the media is even more true today than when this was first published. A must read for anyone who likes aviation and thrillers.

I am guessing the accident itself might be inspired by Aeroflot 593 where the crash was caused by the pilot's son flying the plane.
