This was my first Stuart Woods read and have to say, was not impressed and it will probably be my last.First of all, if the author would have paid more attention to letting us get to know the characters instead of going on and on and on.....telling us about ALL the parts that go into makng an airplane fly.....wow! just don't think we had to have all this information.....did this author just learn to fly and attempting to impress us with his flying skills instead of working on making the story more believable.....nothing in this book was belivable....no emotion in ANY of the characters.... had to skip pages and pages to get to the end so I could see how this sad story/writing ends.....5 STAR RATINGS?????Seriously?????pleasesave your $$ and your time on this one.....wish I had!
