Every once in a while I hit a book that is like a roller coaster ride. You get on and zoom to the end with no chance of stopping. Nearly all of John Nance's books are like this and Blackout is no exception. Some kind of bright flash of light blinds both 747 pilots as they fly out of Hong Kong for the United States. One of them actually dies on the spot. There are no other pilots aboard. And the roller coaster ride begins. Terrorists, conspiracies, information leaks, you name it, Nance included it. It's wild and it's a great read. BLACKOUT BY JOHN J NANCE is the second in the Kat Bronsky series but its the first of the series and the author's books I've read. Great read folks! Tons of action and twists that kept me on the edge of my seat ! I held my breath waiting to see what came next,its that engrossing! Kat is a FBI agent sent to Hong Kong to speak at a seminar on terrorism when she gets mixed up with a reporter who is being hunted down . Kat and the reporter,Robert MacCabe board a flight to head back to the US when Kat is pulled off the plane at the last minute. Good thing too, that flight never makes it back to the US! I love mysteries and I love thrillers and I can guarantee that BLACKOUT will keep you up well into the night to find out who is doing what! This, the second book in the Kat Bronksy series is quite the non stop thrill ride. It starts off relatively benignly with Kat giving a speech on hijacking and hostage negotiation after which she is approached by a antagonistic journalist who has several pointed questions about a recent aeroplane crash. After this he bundles her up and says he needs to speak to her urgently, before he gets the chance to speak with her his hotel room is ransacked and he barely escapes from the people performing such after a brief chase. From here it's quite the thrill ride with what appears to be terrorists managing to blind pilots with a high powered laser causing a plane the aforementioned journalist boarded to crash, a plane with Kat was meant to be on but was mysteriously pulled off of by a bureaucrat in Washington. Throughout it's quite the page turner with, much like Final Hostage, layers slowly peeling back as you progress into the story, however unlike Final Hostage I felt like the ending to this one was a bit more abrupt and less satisfying. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

HTML:New York Timesâ??Bestselling Author: An FBI agent uncovers a conspiracy to send planes falling from the sky in this "white-knuckle adventure" (Publishers Weekly). A Boeing/McDonnell-Douglas MD-11 jetliner crashes into the Gulf of Mexico a mile inside Cuban waters, killing all three hundred and twenty passengers onboard. The last three minutes on the plane's cockpit voice and data recorders have been erased. Was this a massive mechanical failure or an act of terrorism? At an air terrorism conference, FBI agent Kat Bronsky learns Washington Post reporter Robert McCabe has received frightening information about the MD-11 crash from a source that mysteriously disappeared. When another airliner goes down after its pilots are flash-blinded midflight, Bronsky and McCabe find themselves at the center of what might be a deadly government cover-up. Unable to trust her colleagues at the FBI, Bronsky must rely on her own wits and piloting skills as she races from the jungles of Vietnam to the forests of the American Northwest to unmask the conspirators before the entire American airline industry comes crashing out of the sky. John J. Nance is in top form with this suspense-charged, action-packed novel that solidifies his reputation as the king of the aviation thrill Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

MacCabe is a passenger of the 2nd crashed airliner and it is unknown whether he has survived or not. Bronsky quickly goes on the search and soon finds herself embroiled in a situation that could point back to her own government and possibly FBI colleagues.
The novel, especially author John J. Nance’s description of the plight involving the 2nd airliner, is top knotch. It loses a little steam in the final third of the book, but not enough to keep this from being a consistent page turner. 4 stars. ( )
