review 1: I agree with both pro and con comments made by other reviewers. Pro: a very believable and chilling scenario. Con: way to much character development and too much time building up to the disaster part. That said I will read the next book in the series as I do like the story line. This was your classic, "The first one's free" gambit of a free Kindle book but hey, I really knew that going into it!
review 2: This book was very hard to finish. Honestly, I skimmed about half. I couldn't get into it. It's just too drawn out. Too long and tedious. Too boring. The last third, after the catastrophe, when all the action picks up, is good. The concept is good. The writing...not so much.So basically, a Chinese corporation spends 30 years getting their microchips and c... moreomputer part thingies into everything around the world. If it has "Made In China" stamped on it, these guys probably made it. Then, they decide to flip the kill switch and shut it all down. Apparently, it's up to a group of plane enthusiasts to figure out why and - I'm assuming - save the day.Great concept. Really good idea. Very tedious. I'm trying to think of good things to say, but other than "great concept," I can't. The first 2/3 of the book are spent setting everything up...in excruciating detail. Seriously, I don't need to know the family history and background of EVERY character. It was so hard to muddle through it all. I really just ended up skimming it. Once the action picked up, it was still a bit tedious, but it was at least interesting. The biggest problem I have with this novel, other than how boring it was, was that I couldn't connect with any character. I usually can connect with the main character and a few of the others. The character I felt the most connection to was the chairman of the Chinese corp. I just wanted him to hurry up and push the button and hopefully get rid of the main characters. Really, though, I seriously did like the idea - that's why I got the book - but it was just SO hard to read! Normally when I read, I stop seeing words and start seeing the story. Didn't happen here. I just couldn't get engrossed like I normally do. Hopefully, the next book will be better. I don't know if I'll get it, though. If I do, it'll be after the price comes down or it goes on sale or something. I can't justify spending almost $5 for the sequel to a book I didn't really like. Aviation buffs will probably love the book, though. less
