Critic reviews

"Airplanes, real and model, loom large in the denouement and the climactic flying sequence is a corker." ( Publishers Weekly)
"The authentic flavor of the New Mexico locale is so real you'll be tempted to check your shoes for fine red dust." ( Mystery Scene)

Great Characters

Excellent story with believable characters and plot. I’ll be reading the next in series and beyond!

As a pilot, a little hard to swallow

Any additional comments?

An OK read. As a pilot though, the fact that our hero didn't follow the advice of the controller and land at the larger, better equipped airport, was a wee bit hard to swallow.

Love Bill Gastner!

Havill's writing is wonderful and Rusty Nelson's narration is superb. If I close my eyes while listening, I easily visualize the desert scrub, the wooded terrain and opalescent blue skies! Gastner reminds me of my dad, a bit of a crumudgeon, with a tenacious spirit, a bit stubborn, and dogged determination to do what's right.

Read the book, then listened to it

Enjoyed the story but the reader maybe needed some coaching with pronunciation of Southwestern terms.

Entertaining

I enjoyed this first of a series and will listen to more! Characters interesting and definitely well read.
