Final Approach
A government investigator looks into the cover-up of a deadly plane crash in this aviation thriller from the New York Times–bestselling author of Lockout.
In the control tower at Kansas City International Airport, all the radar displays are red. But for the experienced pilots of North America Airlines, the thunderstorms aren’t the problem: NAA has been cutting costs to stave off bankruptcy, and will do anything to keep their planes in the air. Unfortunately, no matter what they do, one is on its way down.
After the aircraft collides with another plane on the Kansas City runway, in one of the worst aviation disasters of the decade, National Transportation Safety Board investigator Joe Wallingford arrives on the scene. As he studies the wreckage and pieces together the events that led to the tragedy, he realizes there’s far more at play than pilot error or equipment malfunction. Wallingford will have to risk his career—and perhaps even his life—to solve the puzzle of the crash.

I came into this book with skepticism, as I did not know what to expect, but it did not disappoint. This book will have moments where the action might slow, but the suspense will keep you reading. I could not put this book down.

Although somewhat dated, still an interesting insight into the protection of aviation safety with a bit of human drama to keep it interesting.

I first read John J. Nance’s _Final Approach_ in print soon after it was originally published 1990. Thirty-plus years later, it remains a compelling legal thriller and techno who-done-it. The plot is plausible, and the novel has well-rounded principal characters. I remember that the print edition carried an afterword from Nance in which he discussed the pedantic purpose of his novel — (SPOILER ALERT) to press for systematic change in the organization of the NTSB, whose staff then, as now, is responsible for investigating air accidents, but also those involving motor carriers, railroads, and pipelines. Thirty years later in this digital edition, the afterword is gone, but the vast sphere of NTSB responsibilities remains.

I enjoyed the story itself, even if it was a little character heavy. Slow start to it with all the technical terms, but it sped up and great ending!
