Michael Parson & Sophia Gold

review 1: USAF C-5 Departs Bagram with Barometric-trigger bomb. Parsons and his crew are about to make a routine departure from Bagram when a MEDEVAC emergency follows the Taliban bombing a police academy. Included in the EVAC group is Sophia Gold, an Army SGT MAJ that Parsons has had previous experience with following the shoot down of his C-130 previously. This FLT 84 is one of several USAF planes departing Bagram that day carrying stowed altitude bombs, the first three of which explode in descending past 10,000 ft. The flight is almost a doomsday special, as one of the Afghan patients turns jihadi and tries to attack the cockpit, and no country will allow 84 to land for fear of deadly debris trails and/or biological agents scattered by the crash. The flight plan to Germany become... mores diverted to Rota, Spain, diverted to Morocco and finally turned around and targeted for Johnston Atoll in the middle Pacific. Incorporating three aerial refuelings, Parsons and crew locate the bomb and a tamper booby trap in the vertical stabilizer, and nearly crash the plane removing the bomb before it explodes just outside the plane. Out of water, medicine, two engines, food and werewithall, the plane crash lands at Johnston and is rescued with 40 of the original 55 crew and passengers surviving.
review 2: Thomas Young's SILENT ENEMY is so engrossing, so well crafted, that as a new author myself I learned so much about how to keep a story moving forward on a break-neck, unflinching, edge of your seat pace. His knowledge of his environment, a military aircraft flying out of an Afghan airbase with wounded personnel on board, is beyond reproach. Not knowing a thing about military planes like these, I found it totally engrossing as he made the most routine cockpit moves seem like intricate moves on a flying chess board, continuosly staying out of the checkmate being thwarted against him by the silent enemy on board his plane. If you'd like a thrill ride that doesn't go overboard, stretching reality beyond belief, this book is sure to please. less
