Shadow Flight

by John Harrison

In Shadow Dance , the party of friends from Ellsted sought information about Narmir's heritage in Hornshir. In Shadow Play , Nurn searched for his little brother while the others continued to search. In this third installment of the Shadow Saga , the darkness makes itself known to Namir and his friends, and so will the light. Shadow Flight is full of harsh lessons. Things are never as they seem, and those struggling to survive find it even harder. Threats like death come unannounced. The party of friends has gone their separate ways. While most have returned to their hometown of Ellsted, Nurn continues his search for his brother with the elves, with new obstacles arising. Meanwhile Hessa and Aves face a different kind of threat. Even as the darkness spreads, a light is kindled. All the while, Namir faces new challenges as agents of darkness scurry in a race against time to stop him from claiming his lost birthright. Who will win the day? Read Shadow Flight to find out!

Although this novel started out on the slow side, it quickly turned into a real page turner that I was unable to stop reading until the end. Plenty of action and international intrigue with enough aviation-related content to maintain my interest. It would make a superb, albeit costly to make movie!
Not to be confused with a novel with the same title by Joe Weber.

Once again retired airline pilot Harrison Jones comes up with an airline situation that has this pilot afraid it might actually happen. The story was slow to get going, but once I was a quarter of the way into it I couldn’t put it down. I look forward to his next book.

Harrison Jones's latest novel SHADOW FLIGHT is nothing short of an aviation masterpiece! Once I picked it up, I couldn't put it down again! The characters in the book are both colorful and very realistic; the plot is a real page-turner combining the best of the disaster and detective genres, with investigators piecing information together piece-by-piece and pursuing various true and false leads (and getting in one another's way all the time, as often happens in real-life crime investigations) while the victims have to deal with countless interrelated crises arising at the same time or with one leading to another; action scenes are vividly described and leave the reader breathless; aviation specifics are well-researched and highly plausible; the author's witty humor is more than enough to put one on the floor with laughter; and last but not least, the subject matter is very relevant to today's world, dealing with the symbiotic relationships between Islamic terrorists, rogue Marxist governments and the drug mafia, as well as with both the strengths and the weaknesses of America's homeland security. This book deserves to be a classic of modern literature! Five stars!

Awesome book by Harrison Jones. This is the 2nd book I have read by him and it did not disappoint!

It is an aviation lovers dream novel because it is reality based and true to what a real pilot would see and feel. But anybody would love this book as it is just a great story with very loveable characters. It really is a page turner as it kept me in suspense and wanting to find out what was going to happen next.

I highly recommend Shadow Flight as well as Hariison's previous novel Equal Time Point. Both are fun reads with some common characters but you can read them in either order.

I also found his blog at www.harrisonjones.org and it kept me entertained 2 or 3 times a week between reading his two novels. He generally sticks to current avaition news and his usual humorous take on what is going on. He also updates and shares passages from the book he is currently writing. Good stuff!

Creative tale well told

Intricate airline story multi-facited with hijacking, drug smuggling, and enhanced with international terrorism. Good blend of credible and diverse characters.

Engaging

A great read for those who love a mystery with some technical jargon built in. Good character development and plot
