Crash and Burn by James Rollins

4.0

Crash and Burn by James Rollins is a short story or novelette in the Sigma Force series. While most of the Sigma Force members are former Special Forces soldiers, Seichan and Kowalski are the ‘outsiders’. Seichan is a former assassin and Kowalski had been a navy seaman. They are on a transatlantic flight when something happens and their jet goes down. What follows is a suspenseful action-adventure story that is a fight for survival.

Due to how short this story is, there isn’t much time for character depth. However, you do see some in Seichan. There is plenty of action and descriptions of weapons as one expects in a Rollins novel. There was not a lot of dialogue, but some banter occurred between the two main characters. The plot is tense and suspenseful, with a dramatic over-the-top ending.

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this story. It was an entertaining book that grabbed my attention and didn’t let go. This is the 17th book/novelette that I have read by this author and I own four more that I am looking forward to reading.
