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.
