This is the first book in the Contrails Saga series.I've always been interested in reading about the aviation industry through the perspective of a pilot, so I enjoyed this book.Robert gives plenty of inside information, some of it quite interesting and humorous:"Rushing out the door, you say aloud to yourself, “wallet, tags, keys, phone, bags,” touching each one, hoping to dispel the demon of forgetfulness. This is the pilot’s mantra.""I sidestepped the passenger line, heading straight to the front amidst a slew of dirty looks and obscenities. A TSA agent slid in front of me. “Whoa, whoa, whoa.” He was black and had the build of an NFL running back. I flashed him my crew badge. He scanned my ID, disappointed by its authenticity. “Have a nice flight.” I searched for a stealth way of cutting in line without disgruntling too many passengers."In addition, I liked the fast pace of the book - Robert doesn't let the action sag at any point in the book.I'm looking forward to the next book in the series.(I downloaded a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.)
