Mid-Flight

 2037—not the best of years for humanity.     

 About the Book: After an intergalactic meteor shower, a deadly pathogen ContaCan is released, leading to a pandemic. Billions die before an antidote is discovered. But due to a genetic abnormality, one-tenth of the world’s population prove to be immune to the treatment. Labeled ARs, they become everyone’s favorite scapegoat, and genocide unfolds into very public, very blatant war crimes. The government begins tracking, then annihilating anyone suspected of being an AR. The entire criminal justice system collapses as ARs are given the death penalty simply for existing.

          Horrified at these events, flight attendant Lexi Brennan and other like-thinking people decide to fight back, unleashing a humanitarian revolution which spreads like wildfire.

Our Review: Mid-Flight is not for the faint-hearted. Nor will it appeal to the bigots or reactionary lunatic fringe present in today’s society. The author is to be credited, first for her imagination in creating this story, second for the amount of research it took to flavor this dystopian sci-fi thriller with state-of-the-art advancements in technology, third for her courage.

          The first fifty pages are slow-going for the necessary inclusion of said technology, but as the horror unfolds, the pace soars, making this a page turner. Fans of George Orwell and Margaret Atwood will appreciate this one.

 

Based on a scale of 1-5, Mid-Flight merits a 5.
