Airframe

by Michael Crichton

Random House Publishing Group | September 28, 1997 | Mass Market Paperbound

Three passengers are dead. Fifty-six are injured. The interior cabin virtually destroyed. But the pilot manages to land the plane. . . .

At a moment when the issue of safety and death in the skies is paramount in the public mind, a lethal midair disaster aboard a commercial twin-jet airliner bound from Hong Kong to Denver triggers a pressured and frantic investigation.

AIRFRAME is nonstop reading: the extraordinary mixture of super suspense and authentic information on a subject of compelling interest that has been a Crichton landmark since The Andromeda Strain.

    Action thriller

    Typical fast paced action packed thriller from the Michael Crichton book mill. An inside look at the airplane manufacturing business. An easy read with no sub-plots.

    As a whole, this book is wonderful. It just makes you work for it. If you can survive the first 70% of the book, and finish it, you'll understand. This book is a great one for Crichton fans, especially those at all interested in the flight industry. A very intelligent read.

    Now this book was well written. As a fan of this mans work I've got to admit that I finished this book in 2 days. It had some technical jargon, but it was always explained and I actually learned something. It was a good mystery and trust me I do not recommend this book to be read on a flight.

    This book is pretty easy to understand as the writing is kept simple and easy to understand for the reader. It is not too technical and keeps the reader riveted all the way to the end. As usual, it has a unpredictable climax!! I definitely recommend this book over Crichton's sequel to Jurrasic Park. A definite book to read when you are on an airplane !!!
