Mayday (Abridged) Audiobook

" I read this book on my flight to London. The pilots thought I was crazy to read a book about an airplane crash while flying, but I couldn't help myself. Very easy read, but really entertaining as well. "

" Oh my goodness! This book was suspenseful! I had the hardest time putting it down. It drew me in and kept me enthralled. A jetliner is hit by a missile at 62,000 feet. The resulting catastrophe cripples or kills most of the plane's occupants. A few survivors must somehow figure out a way to land the plane. Excellent book! Definitely recommended for those who like suspense thrillers. "

" A good story. It runs at a bit of a slow pace and the ending is lacking, though. Besides that, it was an enjoyable read with a relatively new and interesting plot. "

" I listened to this book on tape.It is the story of an a jumbo jet that is shot at during a missile test. One of the passengers figures out how to fly the plane and brings it back to the airport where it started from. The airline and the military both attempt to bring the plane down to cover their butts. The suspense is way overdrawn. It takes the plane about 20 minutes to fly the last 1/2 mile to the runway. The ending is predictable. Useful for low intellectual level trash reading (or listening). "

" Not a book to read on your flight -- a thriller about an airplane being shot down and a small aircraft pilot trying to bring the plane home. Some interesting moral dilemas as well. I like DeMille and the book did not disappoint. "

" Oh my gosh! I never want to fly again after reading this book. I couldn't put it down. "

" A thriller from the get go. One DeMille best "

" Two very different authors coming together and making it work is rare. Though you can tell where one started and the other one picked up it's a good book none the less "

" A gripping story, but not the usual Nelson DeMille fare. "

" I love survival stories, and this book definitely had a survival struggle. Good plot complication, that left me making guesses on how different characters of the book would end up. I wouldn't read it on your flight across the ocean... "

" I listened to this on tape while driving across country...great book on tape. "

" Nelson DeMille is great at luring you into an improbable story. This is a book full of suspense and I stayed up all night to finish it. His endings are always a surprise!! "

" Gripping suspense as various guilty parties try to save their careers at the expense of the survivors of a botched secret missile test. And did I mention the 300 or so brain damaged passengers (and co-pilot) loose on the damaged jetliner? "

" Very good story line and suspense all the way "

" Good read - especially when you have a brother that's an airline pilot! "

" Exciting the whole way through. Good characters and perhaps a bit too "just-in-the-nick-of-time" to be realisitc, but still makes a great novel. "

" This is my favorite DeMille book. I recommend to everyone to get them hooked on this author. I has everything and belongs in the couln't put it down catagory. "

" Wasn't my regular type of book, but happened to pick it up on the suggestion of a family member. Once started I couldn't put it down! A real page turner full of twists and turns! "

" I had read this book many years ago but still enjoyed reading the new version again. I really like Nelson DeMille. I have never been afraid to fly but this book made me think! Scary and thrilling. "

" One you won't want to put down. "

" page turner, but....a few too many co-incidences and lucky turns of events to make it believable. Nevertheless, I always love a good conspiracy and coverup.... "

" Very good,but a little wordy. I love Nelson DeMille's work "

" 3 1/2 stars. Read this when ON a flight, to Europe. Not the best timing, but good book! "

" I don't think I am a fair judge of this book. It is not the type of book I enjoy. I read it for the book group. "

" A must read! Loved this book!!! Not my typical pick but couldn't put it down! "

" Exciting the whole way through. Good characters and perhaps a bit too "just-in-the-nick-of-time" to be realisitc, but still makes a great novel. "

" I have never read anything by this author, but was intrigued when my sister told me about this particular book. It was a fun book to read and I may look into reading more of his work. "

" This is definitely a 'sit-on-the-edge-of-your-seat' kinda book. It was a fast read and enjoyable. I do wonder if there's as much CYA in the insurance industry and the military as implied by this book, or if they were just unscrupulous men. I probably won't fly for a while though. "

" Oh my gosh! I never want to fly again after reading this book. I couldn't put it down. "

" there are just too many people out there who value money over life. "

" I first read this book and then listened to it on cassettes 8/31/2010 "

" Wasn't my regular type of book, but happened to pick it up on the suggestion of a family member. Once started I couldn't put it down! A real page turner full of twists and turns! "

" Good read - especially when you have a brother that's an airline pilot! "

" Better than most of his books. "

" This is an appealing premise and it actually was an interesting story line but the description of the aftermath of a supersonic passenger airplane decompressing at sixty two thousand feet is not pretty. It was well done but not a fun read. I actually an a Pollyanna at heart. "

" Not sure you want to fly with this book. "

" Ugh, the descriptions of the effects of high-altitude decompression on the poor passengers of a supersonic airliner are horrific. (Think Night of the Living Dead.) I stuck through with until the end, though, because I wanted to know what happened to the last three "normals" in the plane. "

" Fantastic. This story was way ahead of its time! I read this just prior to my first trans-Pacific flight. Maybe not such a good idea... "

" A true, unrelenting thriller. Couldn't put it down! "

" a silly but entertaining read. It kept my attention but the brain damaged passengers made me feel like I was reading a science fiction novel about zombies. "
