One of his best,
By
This review is from: Flight into Fear (Paperback)
Duncan Kyle has written several really great books. The best ones in my opinion are 'Flight into Fear" , "A cage of ice" and "whiteout (also called 'in deep')"
I would have to rate these three at the very top of my list of novels. I reread them often. If you like Alistair Maclean then this is very similar.

Flight Into Confusion?,
By Kristal Leiker (Lenexa, KS USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Flight into Fear (Paperback)
This book is about John Shaw, an English pilot who does various jobs for various companies. In the beginning, John Shaw takes a job from a company called Airflo. He has to fly to San Francisco and pick up a brand new private aircraft and then fly it back to England. The only catch is Sidney Lennox wants John to pick up a passenger in San Francisco. John also needs to take a package along with him, which is supposed to contain car parts. What is really in the package ends up giving John a lot of trouble once in San Francisco. People attempt to kill him, kidnap him, and his passenger ends up being a murderer! The story also had many twists and turns, making it interesting despite its flaws.Overall, I thought this book was okay. In the beginning the book is kind of dry and boring, but it picks up about half way through. I thought the book was very confusing, though. Along with all of the twists and turns, the author doesn't make it very clear what's going on all the time, so I had to read some parts over several times. The book is very interesting, though. Once everything came together for me I found that reading the book was worth it just for the satisfaction of finding some of the subtle clues scattered throughout the story. Even thought they add confusion, the twists and turns make the story great. They keep you guessing by clearing up the old suspects and sometimes bringing them back. I suggest this book to fans of the mystery genre because it keeps you guessing even after you finish reading the last page.

The Book That Has It All,
By A Customer
This review is from: Flight into fear (Hardcover)
The Book That Has It AllA man named John gets a call from his old boss Lennox asking him to bring him a package and fly a private plane back to Britain. But everything goes terribly wrong. First he gets kidnapped at gunpoint. And that is just the first thing that happens to John. Throughout the whole book he gets beat up, shot at, and must fly a stalled plane to safety. I enjoyed this book very much the action never stopped and it had so many twist and turns that made it very interesting. Another thing I liked about the book was the author had such great detail that it was so easy to picture the situation the character was in. The only part I didn't like was the book had pilot lingo so it was a little hard to read for me to understand what John said. Like one time John said the pole of the plane was shaking badly and I couldn't understand what he meant. On a scale from one to five I would rate it a four because it had non-stop action and lots of detail.
