Good book, but not one of DeMille's best...
I read Mayday in one sitting; it is extremely fast-paced and the events in the novel lend itself towards very fast reading, although at times it gets a bit technical. You're guaranteed to be captivated from the beginning and taken along for a wild ride, which in a post-9/11 world becomes even scarier as terror in the skies strikes a nerve with many Americans, myself included. Although some parts were pretty predictable, I believe many readers will enjoy this novel, especially those with any interest in aviation, the military, conspiracies, action/adventure, etc. While this is not my favorite DeMille book by far, I think its a good solid book, well researched and full of what I am assuming is accurate technical information, courtesy of Thomas Block's expertise. This would make a great movie too!
