A quite enjoyable read with a brisk pace, interesting characters and involving story arc through compelling and interesting events and places. The plot thrusts forward like the high performance aircraft it centres around, and it's fun to pick back up with some of the characters from the 'The Apollo Murders'. Pushes the nerd button for Apollo program fans as well, along with the overall fun factor of the plot weaving through real historical events as well.
