The passengers of Meridian Flight 6--delayed for hours and mistreated by rude and inept airline personnel--have been pushed to the edge. When Captain Phil Knight makes a forced emergency landing in war-torn Nigeria, abandoning his co-pilot to certain death, violence erupts inside the airplane as the enraged passengers attempt the first-ever commercial airline mutiny.

In the pressurized last moments as Flight 6 approaches, NATO scrambles to uncover the truth about the plane's cargo, while Navy pilots bring the 747 into their gun sights and the lives of innocent passengers hang in the balance.… (mais)

I swear, this guy just loves to torture me! This is yet another absolutely wonderful book by John Nance. This time, the major airline - Meridian - is slipping in customer service. They've slipped so badly that even employees are losing heart and loyalty. Air rage is the logical successor and this novel depicts the true airline trip from hell. The hardest part about a Nance book is making it last. They are all true page turners and this one is no exception. ( )

I gave up on this book a few chapters in. The author so clearly has an axe to grind with the airline industry that the story was lost in the telling. ( )

The thing about Nance is that his characters are credible. They are smart and they do things smart people do--even under tremendous stress. In Turbulence, tired, cranky, and abused airline passengers try to seize control of the plane, certain that to do otherwise would be suicidal. Interesting premise that keeps moving. ( )
