Amazing plot. Follows like a good detective novel.

A plane goes up and down really fast and then three people die. Now Casey Singleton has to figure it out without getting her ass fired, losing the China sale, and stopping the news from bad-mouthing the N-22 wide body. Everyone gets what’s coming to them in a exciting story about an airplane.

I don’t care about airplanes, but it was quite enjoyable.

I L.O.V.E.D. this book. Something happens to an airplane mid-flight, killing three people and injuring dozens more. After its emergency landing, the team at Norton Aircraft has to figure out what transpired in the air, and fast, as a company-saving sale to China hangs in the balance. Pressure mounts for Casey Singleton, the head of Norton QA, as news reporters threaten to tell the world a sensationalized version of the story, and corrupt internal leaders throw her off track. Can she prove the safety of these planes against such enormous odds? 

 So so so so good. And for Crichton to have written such complex information in a way that was still digestible? * Chef’s kiss * Enormously enjoyable read.

I liked the plot and the snap shot of what it is like for women in STEM, but nothing was very exciting and the ending needed to be bigger.

A fast paced thriller from Michael Crichton. Lots of technical detail about planes and air crash investigations.
