From Booklist
Prolific songwriter, journalist, and TV screenwriter Bonta turns to the novel and creates an auspicious, genre-bending parable that splices together quantum physics, crazy coincidences, the sf convention scene, and true love. Intrepid interdimensional space traveler Aira Flight is the heroine of writer Mendle Orion's award-winning novels and also the object of his most cherished fantasies. When a naked, amnesiac woman appears in his hotel room during an sf convention, Mendle rejoices that his faith in the power of love and cosmic coincidence has magically brought Aira to life. His ex-girlfriend, however, questions his already dubious sanity and investigates the girl's true identity. Yet as Aira's memory returns, so does her power, as the unlimited-energy being Mendle envisioned, to teach all those around her to create their own realities. Bonta's storytelling skills transform an outlandish New Age premise into a refreshing send-up of sf stereotypes that, remarkably, also works as an inspiring romantic adventure.

Review
" ... her (Bonta's) performance is brilliant. I was hooked on this story, the tale is ingenious." -- Audiogeist, March 2008
"Bonta's reading is clear and provides a satisfying atmosphere for this tale. Recommended for larger collections." -- Library Journal, March 2008
"This novel within a novel will captivate readers with a story of space travel between dimensions. Readers will feel part of the story, and will hate to see it end. You don't have to be a fan of science fiction to read this book, it's a cross-genre novel that everyone will enjoy." Ruth Augustine -- Blogcritics, May 2008
"Vanna Bonta reads her own work and is a refreshing and engaging narrator. She occasionally uses vocal effects but never to excess. This is a book with much to say." -- AudioFile Magazine, June 2008
"Vanna Bonta's voice is entrancing - quickly making an engrossing connection between the listeners and the characters; her versatility as a voice actor brings a very realistic feel to the book. The combination of the characters, storyline, and Bonta's voice make the audio book an intense and memorable experience. Bonta's voice keeps each character completely unique, a challenge in many audio books. Flight is an amazingly positive, life-affirming book, filled with beauty." -- Boston Now, January 2008
Mendle J. Orion, science fiction writer and poet, cherishes his latest literary creation, Aira Flight. When he finds a naked amnesiac, who looks identical to his beloved Aira, he believes that his deep abiding love for her has brought the fictional character to life. To substantiate his belief that this is Aira in the flesh, her friend from his novel Onx has also materialized.

Mendle J. Orion, science fiction writer and poet, cherishes his latest literary creation, Aira Flight. When he finds a naked amnesiac, who looks identical to his beloved Aira, he believes that his deep abiding love for her has brought the fictional character to life. To substantiate his belief that this is Aira in the flesh, her friend from his novel Onx has also materialized.
Sandra Wilford wants Mendle for herself. Though she is brilliant (in a calculating way) and beautiful, she knows that she cannot compete with his characters when they only remain on a printed page. If Aira has come to life as Mendle claims, Sandra realizes that, unless she does something drastic she has lost her man. She begins to investigate the amnesiac, but learns things about mankind that would have turned the head of Dr. Frankenstein.
Science fiction fans need to take a FLIGHT into a very interesting novel where quantum physics meets human relationships at the crossroads of dreams and reality. The story line is fun as it humorously jabs save the world and self help books and tapes. Mendle is an interesting dreamer while Sandra is an intriguing schemer. However, it is the ephemeral Aira who steals the show, leaving readers to understand the premise that I think, therefore I create. Vanna Bonta's novel is the best look at the quantum physics universe since the Professor Q books of Trevor Hoyle. Great work that will be devoured by fans who enjoy unique science fiction. -- Harriet Klausner, March 26, 1998
