While I hate the ending, the series gives us an understanding of the horrors that the Nazi regime perpetrated on Europe during WII. At every step the Nazis lied to gain the trust of the people. Wake up America, they are trying to do the same thing here!

The Last Flight unfolds in alternating character voices - those of Claire Cook and Eva James. Both women running for their lives- one from an abusive husband and the other from a drug boss. When they switch places at the airport, one flies to Berkeley and the other to Puerto Rico. The flight to Puerto Rico goes down killing all 96 people aboard or were there only 95? The tension in the story builds chapter by chapter as the reader learns more about the two women and their lives.

I love it when the evil villain gets justice- legally or otherwise. Our hero is an interesting character without an identity or memory of who he is. He experiences visions of both past and future events. A question to Koontz - are the past visions leading us to eventually discover what happened to Nameless as we read the series? I certainly hope so because the final vision in this book leaves us with a lot of questions and any number of possible theories. Going to buy the next book right now!

Caroline Johnson tells her story in remarkable detail. I felt like I was in the cockpit with her as she described the frustration of not being allowed to engage with ISIS and then being given the green light to finally engage. However, her story is more than a story about flying jets. It’s also about the ways in which the Navy is failing women and people of color within its ranks. One can only hope that by sharing her story others will step up and confront the sexism and racism that is so prevalent in our armed forces.
This book should be mandatory reading for all military personnel in leadership roles- enlisted and officers. Johnson hits the target when she writes that changing this toxic culture begins at the top.

As a mom, like all parents, we make mistakes. Sometimes those mistakes cause a a deep rift in our relationships with our children. Sometimes, the cause of that rift is not ours alone, but is shared with other parenting figures in a child’s life. A powerful story of how one trauma early in one’s life can lead to further trauma and then to generational trauma.
