Airframe

A Novel

Three passengers are dead. Fifty-six are injured. The interior cabin virtually destroyed. But the pilot manages to land the plane. . . .

At a moment when the issue of safety and death in the skies is paramount in the public mind, a lethal midair disaster aboard a commercial twin-jet airliner bound from Hong Kong to Denver triggers a pressured and frantic investigation.

AIRFRAME is nonstop reading: the extraordinary mixture of super suspense and authentic information on a subject of compelling interest that has been a Crichton landmark since The Andromeda Strain.©1996 by Michael Crichton; (P)1996 by Random House, Inc.

Great story some recording bugs

As an aviation nut I enjoyed the technically correct airplane jargon. The story walks you through very easily though if you aren't an aviation nut.

The story is like a crime thriller finding the cause of the incident.

The characters behave like real people trying to do their respective jobs.

Only hiccup is the chapters where very short and sometimes a couple sentences were copied from one chapter to the next. Not a big deal, but that's the most negative thing I can think of. Loved the rest of it.

"Disclosure" with female lead.

Audio has a few skips and "chapters" are absurdly short, so don't lose your place.

Couldn’t put it down!

A riveting story. Michael Crichton at his best. Cassity makes it come to life, and I absolutely could not put it down.

Incredible story

Amazing, captivating, and interesting imagination for the mid 90s. Crazy coincidence compared to now as day events.

Not classic Crichton

An ok story with a modicum of airplane tech but, not a page turner till near the end. Certainly doesn’t belong on the same bookshelf as his classics. Might be that it’s from a woman’s perspective and a female narrator, it just didn’t click for me (though she is talented). If it was free I’d say give it a listen but, it’s not. So.
