What a great book!

Headwind is one entertaining novel that I liked a lot! I'm glad I had the opportunity to read it!
The plot is interesting, fast-paced, and full of humor and action. Even though it is fun there is also the mystery that can keep you reading more and more.
The characters are well-developed and entertaining.
There were a few typos but nothing too obvious or agitating.

Overall, Headwind is worth reading!
I recommend!

Really a 3.5 star book. First of all this is not my usual kind of read but I got it for free from a read and review group, The Knights of the Round Table. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. It was a fun and fast read. The characters were all very interesting and the plot flowed nicely. I like the way the writer handled his characters. While it is not my usual read, I did enjoy the story.

Great book! Lots of speed, humor and character development. Too bad the Kindle edition contained quite a few typo's and lost words like "the" and "a". Weird. A fun read, though and I'd go for another book of this writer in a heartbeat: Northern Lights is on my list as well!

Headwind is fast out of the gate with quick witted dialogue and some wacky characters that make you laugh and cringe just a bit. I love the territory that the book covers and the situations that mount until the end. A good read.

"Headwind" by Christopher Hudson is a well written fun read about a group of pilots, their romantic interests and some money dealings. It is not my usual cup of tea but something a good read for the beach. Very entertaining.
