This review is from: The Downing of Flight Six Heavy (Paperback)
I happened upon "The Downing of Flight Six Heavy" at a local used book store last week and the description seemed intriguing. I'd never heard of the author, Perry Lafferty, but decided to give it a chance. Luckily, my chance paid off as it was a worthwhile read. It wasn't too deep or technical, but a quick, fun read.

The premise of the novel is a commercial airline pilot being asked by the CIA to fly a plane holding a top secret military device in its cargo hold. However, to disguise these intentions from the Russians, the pilot is asked to hijack his own plane. The plan doesn't work completed as expected and soon the pilot and his crew are fighting for their lives. Not everyone is as they initially seem and the ending has a nice twist to it.

If you enjoy technothrillers, this one would be worth your time. It's not up there with the best (Jon Land or Tom Clancy), but it is still entertaining. It is still available through Amazon, even though it was printed ten years ago.
