Description
On a clear, cold night high above Asia, a China Air passenger jet disappears from radar. An anomaly, a fluke, an unsolvable puzzle-and then a couple of hours later, it happens again.
A former member of the U.S. intelligence community, author Eric Anderson takes us to 2023 in his new book FINAL FLIGHT (Dunn Books: June 9, 2020), and picks up where real-life Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 left off. What happened to that airplane and all the people aboard?
Former Air Force maintenance officer Jason Montgomery and his erstwhile wrench-twister, Rob "Ski" Kalawski, have just landed the gig of their lives. China Air's aging fleet of Boeing 777s now desperately needs navigation hardware and software upgrades. It's a multimillion-dollar contract, and they're just the guys to do it. Too easy, right?
Wrong.
The Japanese firm supplying the gear knows the Chinese will reverse-engineer and steal it, so they've planted a deadly navigation bug to trigger at the first sign of theft. Jason's just the middleman, but he finds himself trapped between yakuza gangsters, a tattooed dragon-lady sales exec, and murderous Russian mobsters looking to make a profit on the missing airplanes and passengers. If these crazies don't start behaving like moral adults, people are going to die by the hundreds . . . and they do.
FINAL FLIGHT, the latest prescient tale from the man who brought us the “New Caliphate” trilogy Osiris, Anubis and Horas as well Byte, might make you think twice before boarding the next plane.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for an advance copy of this book in return for an honest review.
I’m sure there are other people out there like me who wonder how in today’s techno-crazy world a plane carrying over 225 people just disappears. Well, Eric Anderson answers that question. And if it is based anywhere on the truth, you’re not gonna like the answer.
Anderson uses his knowledge of foreign affairs and relations, picking up the real-life story of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370. Fast-forwarding to 2023, the story is told as a novel, not a scientifically written explanation of events. Along the way you’ll learn about U.S. business relations with China, Japan and Korea, as well as corporate espionage and reverse-engineering, the yakuza, and Russian mobsters. It’s not pretty, and may well make you think twice about booking your next flight.

When I read the blurb on this book I believed it would be about NTSB investigation but it was much different. It was about companies - perhaps nations - vying for big time contracts to update aging aircraft, in particular 777's. Everyone wrangling to get for themselves and their company. Surprise ending though. It was interesting see behind the scenes when selfish people and countries try to cheat each other.
