Jammer Davis is an ex-air force pilot currently working for the NTSB. He is assigned to assist with the investigation into the crash of a relatively new plane in France. Things don't go well from the beginning and he has little faith in the whole investigation, wondering why things are as they are.

Not only is this book about an air crash but also terrorism and the hunt for one in particular. There are a series of attacks on the oil infrastructural around world and fears of more to come. 

Naturally, in a book like this, there is a link and this is the big let down in this story. There are many holes in this scenario and it really doesn't make sense. But apart from that, I enjoyed this read. I like the characters, even though a bit cliche in places, like being a single dad with a teenage daughter but never having the time to be there.

The whole premise was good but not executed so well.
