This is a likeable enough book, especially considering it was free when I DL'd it. Somewhere between free and .99 cents is about right.The author puts together a very plausible plot- deranged middle-eastern dude recruits disaffected ex-military Americans, who've converted to Islam (ok maybe its not all that plausible) and are willing to bring down the govt of the U.S. by killing the president.The action primarily revolves around a recently widowed air traffic controller who discovers the thugs as they take over the control room of Logan airport. The scene by scene stuff is very realistic as involves the internal oprations of handing aircraft on 'Final Vector', or final approach to the landing field.My cheif criticism is the shallow drafting of the characters, a major weakness of this novel. They are all cartoonishly executed with sometimes absurd reactions. Ex- Nick the lead character is having fantasies about a hot FBI agent who initially contacts him days after his wife's murder, and she reciprocates!!!! (Seriously, a hot Fibbie lusting after a newly widowed ATC controller is jut stretching credulity a bit much)All-in-all, a readable book. I kept plodding along to the end and I suppose you will too.
