Turbulence on the red-eye flight from London to New York isn't anything unusual. But the strange thumping noises from the cargo that began after the turbulence are definitely not normal. And when seven passengers and a flight attendant realize they're the only people on board who aren't in a coma-like sleep, the questions range from asking what exactly is in the cargo bay, to who's going to land the plane—and wondering whether they're still over the Atlantic at all.
Tom Connelly is the author of The Mansion, Zworsky's Children, Charlie One, and Flight Unknown. He grew up in New York’s Hudson Valley and played drums and guitar in several underground bands in the 1990s. He was one of the founding members of ALL OUT WAR.
He also published two academic books, Cinema of Confinement (Northwestern University Press) and Capturing Digital Media (Bloomsbury) as Thomas J. Connelly.
The author has little command of the skills needed to write an engaging novel - and even less knowledge of grammar. For instance, throughout the book, he refers to the "cargo," but instead of that referring to checked baggage, etc., he instead uses to mean "cargo hold" or "cargo bay." Given the frequent use of simply "cargo," it is VERY ANNOYING and as I said in the subject line, AMATEURISH.
