ACTION-PACKED THRILL RIDE. --KARIN SLAUGHTER SENSATIONAL. --LEE CHILD HIGH STAKES, UP-TO-THE-MINUTE REALISM, AND NONSTOP ACTION. --KAREN DIONNEIn the follow-up to her exhilarating debut, The Freedom Broker, K.J. Howe delivers a riveting and rip-roaring thriller perfect for fans of Sandra Brown and Lisa Gardner. International kidnap expert Thea Paris is escorting two former child soldiers on a plane from an orphanage in Kanzi, Africa, to adoptive parents in London when the Boeing Business Jet is hijacked and forced to make an emergency landing in the remote Libyan desert. When the dust settles on a tense negotiation, Thea finds herself at the beck and call of a ruthless criminal who will stop at nothing to crush his rivals, even if it means forcing her to break international law. Revealing a deadly conspiracy that connects the dark postwar legacy of World War II to the present, this case will bring all parties to an explosive conclusion that will decide the fate of millions across Europe and the Middle East.
It is clear from K.J. Howe’s second thriller novel, Skyjack (which is even better than her debut thriller, Freedom Broker) that she is an author keenly intent on honing her writing and storytelling skills. The book is a real page turner with lots of interesting plot developments, twists and surprises. It is evident that she has done extensive research into every detail in the book. I also love how she develops her complex characters and the rich interactions between them. KJ has a gift for witty, wry dialogue that is very entertaining and welcomed as a tension reliever – much needed as there is pedal to the metal action and suspense throughout the book! She is also an incredibly visual writer and I would love to see how her books would translate to a movie! If you’re looking for a wildly entertaining ride, Skyjack is a great choice! I can't wait to see what KJ will do for her next thriller!
