First time for this author!
Refreshing story. Usually the F.B.I. are portrayed as never making a mistake. Since these are just stories and not real life it is nice to see that all people are somewhat fallible.

Hugely enjoyable
I thoroughly enjoyed this audiobook which was exciting and complicated enough to be interesting but not too convoluted to follow on audio. The author's narration was fine and kept the excitement going. There was enough aviation detail to explain the action without being boring and I liked the main characters. I'll certainly be looking for more of John J Nance's books. The only version of The Last Hostage on Audible seems to be this abridged version but I'm not sure how it would be improved by being longer. I can only assume it was skilfully abridged as I didn't notice any obvious gaps.
