Lockout edition by John J Nance Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks
This was a great, fast-paced thriller. I found the plot believable and thorough. I don't pretend to understand all the technicalities, but it certainly seems to me that such a thing could happen, and I will certainly think twice about the possibilities next time I hop on a plane. I'm not going to outline the plot; just tell you that it was well thought out and developed. The characters were surprisingly well developed for such a fast-paced story; you did get to know them and their motivations at least to a degree: this isn't a character-driven story. Kept me guessing and on the edge of my chair. Now to what is, from me, high praise. The book is well written, well edited, and proofread. I hate being distracted in my reading by plodding prose, poor grammar, and incessant typos. None in this book. I was not once distracted by a fault of the book or story . . . and only a few times by the antics of my dogs and cat, the call of sleep, or hunger. I had not read anything by John Nance before.

Lockout edition by John J Nance Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks Reviews
There should be another higher category than I love It. This book is mind boggling and at the same time scary. Although total fiction it seems like it could be possible. What begins as a routine flight from Tel Aviv to the United States becomes anything but. Through the world of computer hackers, intelligence agencies, an ex Israeli prime minister on the flight and Iran waiting to launch nuclear missiles the story weaves in and out. Oh, and did I mention the pilots cannot control anything on the plane as they turn around and head back where they started.
Drawing on his many years flying airliners of almost as many types as existed and years of experience in accident investigation and expert opinions as to what caused an airplane to go down he is able to take the reader into the cockpit and even the personality of the people in that cockpit. Their emotions fears and thoughts as they try to bring an airplane, sometimes disabled, back to a safe landing. To quote Robert Heinlein, "We pray for one last landing on the globe that gave us birth...and the cool green hills of Earth" A great aviation story.
This is a good thriller that has some pretty intense moments – the author does a great job of making you feel as if you are right in the middle of the action and scenes. The author knows a lot about planes and avionics, and does a pretty good job of not only weaving that into his story but being able to break it down into understandable concepts for those of us who are not so inclined. The conclusion was refreshing – it had an ending but left the possibility there could be more with the characters I would be fine either way and I wouldn’t mind reading more from this author.
I picked this one up for 99 cents during a promotion vs. its regular price of $6.99 - if you like engaging thrillers, I would recommend this one as I certainly received more than $6.99 worth of entertainment value.
John Nance has another winner in "Lockout." The plot keeps the reader on the edge of his seat from start to finish. However, it does get a little muddled near the climax with the multiplicity of aircraft systems and procedures being discussed. The author handles this quite well, with clear and concise descriptions of what's going on. I have read innumerable stories about airplanes and their problems, but have never found anyone who can put as much drama and suspense into a flying story like Nance For aviation enthusiasts, this is a must read.
Lockout would make a great movie, IMHO, because it is so dialogue & image based. The plot is well designed, and the text is well-written, sustained in rhythm, credible, well researched, suitably complex, even titillating, and generates unending suspense. I might have hoped for more character diversity/development and more varied and colourful contexts, i.e. more culturally realistic especially given all the nations involved, in order to reflect actual international diversity. But that might have doubled the size of the book. The reader will note the author’s acute familiarity with the psychology of flying and his ability to get under the pilot's skin when describing thoughts, feelings and resulting actions. Indeed, he puts the reader directly in the cockpit at times - all for the price of a book.
I thoroughly enjoy Nance's books and have read every one of them! They keep me on the edge of my seat, and I can't turn the pages fast enough! His character development is colorful, he sets a good pace for the plot (which is always gripping), and he leaves me wanting to immediately grab his next book. He's an excellent writer, and I highly recommend all of his books.
Beginning with Final Approach, Captain Nance has been a major contributor in the creation of the Airline Thriller genre and sustained its continued following. Lockout is his latest worthy addition. This book has all the ingredients; an intricate plot, an cockpit crew humanized and engaging for the reader, mysterious passengers, advanced technology, and several groups working toward and against a solution unbeknownst to each other. A most enjoyable read!
