Really enjoyed this book. Fast-paced, full of action, and written with a realism that keeps you hooked from the start.

Nichol’s background shines through, making the story feel authentic without slowing down the pace. A gripping military thriller that’s hard to put down. Really enjoyed reading this.

Just couldn't put it down

Full of twists and turns starts off with an air accident and just builds and builds to an amazing end with a twist in the very end of the tale you just didn't see coming

Stunning

This was one of the best reads ever. The author kept my attention throughout and since I spent my life in aero test and development I was initially sceptical. Well done.
