Wow! What a corker of a book this was! 

Literally could not put it down and raced through it at a super fast speed. Real edge of the seat stuff. 

Reading the first chapter I immediately thought this would make a great movie, and then I discovered that the rights have already been bought by Warner Brothers. 

This book is action packed from start to finish. There’s some great characters in there, some to love some to hate. There’s some funky technical detail about the equipment used for the rescue which I found strangely interesting. Theres sexy divers and gung ho military rescuers. There’s some interesting insights into the workings and routines of a flight obviously due to the author being ex cabin crew and there’s of course a love story running throughout. There’s moments of tension and moments of tenderness. 

What more could you want? 

Yes it’s schmaltzy and Hollywood in places but sometimes I need that in my life. 

Highly recommend and giving it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫
