From AudioFile
Fasten your seat belt and prepare for a bumpy ride. This thriller follows the misfortunes of a visionary new airline. As each flight struggles to get off the ground, mechanical and financial sabotage causes numerous problems. Nonstop action circles the globe, and Brian Emerson achieves seamless transitions between American, Scottish, Canadian and Chinese accents. The majority of the characters are male and are easily differentiated. The action is so intense and the voices are so natural the listener is propelled through the story. C.W.

From Booklist
Phoenix Rising reads like a cross between a black box transcript and
Business Week. The dual dangers to a new airline involve financial skulduggery and terrorism. New chief financial officer Elizabeth Sterling must cope with both as she discovers just how much trouble her new company is in. As events jump from bombs in Washington state to London banks to the arctic wilds of Canada, Elizabeth must race to meet them. Not only is her airline in danger of hostile takeover, but her daughter's very life is at stake. The gripping story of her ripostes to these threats makes an absorbing book.
