The author was a former combat pilot who flew military aircraft and worked on accident investigations.  So he knows his subject.  So sit back and get ready to enjoy a very thrilling and informative story that will keep you interested until the final page.
 
A very new cargo plane, the C-500, is on a course across the Atlantic headed for Houston International Airport in the U.S.  Unfortunately, the plane develops trouble and dives like a stone from six miles up and crashes in France, killing the two pilots aboard.  There are at least one hundred of these planes in service around the world so the folks in charge want to get to the bottom of this tragedy as soon as possible.  They call in Frank "Jammer" Davis, who is a retired U.S. Air Force fighter pilot and part of the NTSB's first response team.  Davis has the knack of insulting everyone in his path but, knows how to get answers and starts to dig into this accident to see what, either mechanical or not, caused it.
 
When Davis starts his investigation, the news of the crash is cancelled out by some other unusual and elaborate disasters:  Terrorists are attacking oil refineries across the world and sending governments and stock markets into a spin.   Davis keeps on working persistently and is finally able to find out the cause of the crash and the relationship between the crash and the attacks.  It seems that there is a conspiracy at work that is enormous and Davis might not be able to stop it.
 
This book is a good read and will be understood better by people that know about planes and can understand the horrible conclusion of the plane's demise.  I really enjoyed the author's previous books: The Perfect Assassin and Stealing Trinity, but, had a bit of a hard time with this one.  But, on the other hand, this author is a wonderful storyteller and knows how to grab and hold his reading audience.  I recommend this book to thriller readers that like a true tale of something that could definitely happen.  So enjoy the book and look forward to Mr. Larsen's next one.
