Ghost Flight
by Bear Grylls
Publisher's Blurb
Author of MUD, SWEAT AND TEARS and star of MAN VS. WILD and THE ISLAND, Bear Grylls delivers his action-packed debut novel - the start of a major new adventure series.
Haunted by his wife and son's brutal abduction and murder, ex-soldier Will Jaeger runs to the ends of the earth to recover and to hide. But even there he is found, and compelled to undertake one last mission, and to confront a savage past he can barely even remember.
Jaeger agrees to lead an expedition into the Mountains of the Gods in the remote Amazon jungle. At the dark heart of this real life Lost World lies a mystery WWII warplane, one that harbours a secret so explosive its very discovery may tear the world asunder. Terrifying forces are hell-bent on keeping the warplane forever hidden. Unwittingly, Will Jaeger is going in against them.
But as Jaeger joins a team of former elite warriors - including ice-cool Russian operator Irina Narov - he senses that the air wreck also harbours the answer he so longs to uncover: the identity of his wife and son's murderers.
Hair-raising adventure, an extreme survival quest and a shocking mystery reaching back into the horrors of Nazi Germany.
Review
I was given this book by a friend and had no idea what it would be about. I am aware of Bear Grylls as an adventurer and a former soldier so unless Ghost Flight was Ghost Written I didn't have very high expectations.
However, with the easy writing style and the fast paced storytelling this sucked me in and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It reminded me of some of the early Clive Cussler novels.
I was unaware that this was the start of a series and that there would be unanswered questions at the end that require me to read the next one but I'm happy to keep reading as the main characters are likeable and i want to see how everything turns out.
Mr Grylls combines good storytelling with expert knowledge surrounding the situations that Will Jaeger finds himself in which add to the realism.
A proper 'boys own' adventure story with murder, mayhem, amazonian tribes and Nazis this kept me glued to the page and I'm now looking forward to reading the sequel Burning Angels
