Author uses a very realistic, timely and scary premise. Well-written and understandable discussion and explanations of flying the aircraft, along with coping with potential hazards or emergencies, and issues of navigation. Very good character development, showing personality and in depth interaction. As the story develops it was very hard to put the book down. The suspense I found riveting. And the plan for saving the plane was borderline genious. I think this story would make a wonderful movie.
A truly engaging story in the style of Tom Clancy

This is a book all about commercial flying and the lives of crew members caught up in a thrilling story of intrigue....and what intrigue! You will also understand more about airplanes...great for would-be pilots!
I loved it!

I would highly recommend The First Officer's Report. The book is cleverly written. I easily became absorbed and the suspense made it difficult to put down. Many times I found myself laughing out loud, sitting on the edge of my seat in suspense, and, I must admit, holding back tears. The technical information is very intriguing. Honestly, I feel it is much better than the description led me to believe.
