About this listen

The "boomerang box," a high-tech computer program designed to save a plane experiencing flight trouble, is Dr. Ben Cole's baby. After a test run over the Gulf of Alaska goes awry, he suspects someone has sabotaged the plane's computer systems. And mysteriously, and almost simultaneously, April Rosen is horrified to learn that her father's plane has narrowly escaped a mid-air collision over the same patch of sea.

While Dr. Cole considers the uncomfortable notion that someone within his own company might wish him harm, Rosen begins her search for the cause of her father's hair-raising "near miss." But what both don't know is this: their fears have a common source. They are being watched by people in the Pentagon, who believe that the two might stumble upon the secret that will destroy them all before Skyhook has a chance to succeed.

What is Skyhook's real purpose? Is it commercial or military? And will its early implementation compromise the safety of flyers everywhere?

Excellent read/Audible my wife is familiar with pilots and flying although no a pilot herself. She remained as engrossed as I was.

Different voices used for dialog

I cannot comment on the story however the reading production was terrible. Any dialog was read by someone other than the narrator. It was like listening to an old time radio serial rather than reading a book. Very distracting. Returned the title.

Not what I hoped for.

Would you try another book from John J. Nance and/or the narrator?

I selected this title hoping for a good aviation story. This was an OK story but I was irritated by the main character's flitting around which almost made this chick lit.

What could John J. Nance have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

Focused more on the pilot and not his daughter. This would have worked better from the pilot's point of view.

What three words best describe the narrator’s performance?

Like the performance and will look for more titles read by this narrator.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

no

Great narration especially by the author

Loved most of the characters…I especially enjoyed the special effects the narrator used when characters spoke on radio or via telephone; very realistic. Plot was good mostly but became muddled toward end of novel. Overall glad I read it
