Recenzii

Once you start reading, you can't put it down
As an intellectual piece of suspense, Flying Hero Class can hardly be surpassed
Guaranteed to keep you on the edge of your seat . . . by the time the narrative puts its breaks on, you find he has navigated his fast-moving thriller over an impressive amount of thematic territory
Enthralling . . . ranks with Keneally's Booker-winning best
A novel of great scope, intelligence and humanity
A fast, memorable read . . . when we look at the century in retrospect, he will emerge as one of the great writers
A smooth and elevated entertainment
The reader's anxiety is awoken soon after take-off and is kept to a high pitch throughout
Thomas Keneally has a keen eye for out-of-the-way cultural juxtapositions. Along with it goes an energetically eclectic imagination . . . out of the atmosphere on a beleaguered aircraft, he generates stifling suspense
