Captain's Authority: The Authority Novels
In the thrilling sequel to Final Authority, Captain Bruce Bannock must make a choice between love and responsibility when the country’s conflict becomes a personal one.
Mere months after his murder trial, combat veteran Bruce Bannock is thrust into a whole new fray. September 11, 2001, has changed the cultural landscape and, most pertinent for Bruce, what aviation life is like. His election to president of the pilot’s union puts him in direct opposition with his longtime friend, Mike Barrow, and threatens his relationship with airline CEO Ava O’Kane. All three are under pressure to not only work to keep the country safe but to keep their own best interests abreast of this post-9/11 world.
They’re friends on opposite sides, all with the power to destroy one another in the name of the greater good. As his relationships continue to be tested, Bruce must take a stand to do what’s right…even if he’s not quite sure what that is anymore.

Excellent aviation book
The storyline is creditable and the plotline is sound. The main characters are likeable.
The only problem with the tome is the overabundance of coincidental descriptions. I felt that descriptions of non salient items slowed the story and mitigated the readers interest.
The story could have had more action and less descriptions of flowers and table tops.

Excellent aviation read
Interesting story that keeps you turning to the next page. I liked the characters and the book had just the right amount of aviation speak.

page turner
I read the first book in this series and liked it enough to read the second one.
This book is actually better than the first one in that the prior characters are further developed along with a whole host of new characters.
The time frame of this book is based around the 9/11 tragedy and the economic downturn that resulted for the airline industry.
