Synopsis

MysteryLarge Print EditionOn its final test flight, a new American airliner crashes mysteriously in the Arizona desert. An accident or something more sinister? Mitchell Gant, an expert on aviation accidents, must risk his life by repeating the test flight in every detail. Is it a coincidence when another plane crashes off the coast of Finland, or as some are beginning to suspect, a conspiracy that involves business, politics, and the global marketplace? Gant survived Vietnam, the Cold War, and the Gulf. Now, he finds himself fighting a different and far more dangerous war.

From AudioFile

Thomas brings back the American flyer Mitchell Gant, who starred in FIREFOX, which became a Clint Eastwood movie. Here Gant tries to help an industrialist whose planes are being sabotaged by a British competitor. The action is frequent and sometimes absurd. Reader Stephen Thorne brings an overall British ambience to the book, appropriate despite the American protagonists. He narrates in a slow, cultured British voice and distinguishes the characters by changes in accent and tone. Women speak more softly and higher. The men are faster, gruffer, more guttural. Thorne is good with foreign accents, especially a bad Scot and his French henchman. Thorne and the book are a nice fit.
