Description
In 1966, The Wonder Boys, one of America’s top rock bands, embarked on a flight from Anchorage to Fairbanks for a concert. However, their plane mysteriously vanished en route. Adding to the mystery, the band’s manager, who opted out of the flight, disappeared the following day, leaving no trace.
Fast forward nearly six decades to the present day. Bush pilot Scott Harper, accompanied by his recently adopted daughter Michaela and his former police dog Max, stumbles upon the wreckage of the missing aircraft. In it are the skeletal remains of its two pilots and seven passengers. But official records only account for six passengers. Who was the seventh?
When the investigation takes an unexpected turn with the sudden involvement of the CIA, Scott finds himself grappling with unthinkable and chilling discoveries.
Julie Howard –
Okay this wasn’t what I was expecting but I still enjoyed it. I was expecting the story to focus on Scott, his daughter Michaela and there dog as they investigated the plan crash. Instead the story jumps around in history as a little bit of the puzzle is told by the different characters. This did mean you got a good understanding of why things happened but it does mean you are introduced to a lot of characters for only a few pages. especially with all the guns and action involved. This is book three in the series and while I have listened to book two I didn’t really remember the story or the characters, so can say it does work as a standalone. That’s not to say I didn’t like the characters because I did, especially Michaela. Who doesn’t love it when a child out smarts the bad guys. Off to relisten to book two.
When Scott and his daughter Michaela discover an old plans crash, they had no idea that by doing so they would be putting there lives in danger. They quickly discover the plane crash holds the secrets to what happened to a boy band that was on the rise before suddenly disappearing. Only it’s the mystery passenger that holds all the real answers as to what happen that night and why governments would be sending there three lettered agents to the site now. Can Scott and his daughter come out of this encounter alive?
I liked the narrator. He used accents to help you tell the characters apart and bring the story and situation to life.
