SKYHOOK

John J. Nance reads his latest Alaska-based aviation thriller with strength, enthusiasm, and drama. Handsome Dr. Ben Cole is testing his high-tech computer software program (Skyhook), which allows a ground-based pilot to retake control of a plane in flight. (Remember 9/11.) Meanwhile perky April Rosen and her lawyer friend, Gracie, are trying to save April's father’s pilot's license and career, and possibly his life. Tension builds as the two subplots converge. Nance smoothly differentiates characters and uses breathless speed-reading and increased volume to portray the building crises. S.C.A. © AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine [Published: OCT/ NOV 03]
