Flying Hero Class Zusammenfassung

Flying Hero Class Thomas Keneally

When Palestinian guerillas hijack a flight from New York to Frankfurt, they find an Aboriginal dance troupe among the passengers. Similarly dispossessed of their land, whose side will the Aborigines take? Conflicts of loyalty, terror and revolutionary fervour form the explosive ingredients in this riveting and thought-provoking novel.

Flying Hero Class Bewertungen

Once you start reading, you can't put it down * Guardian *
As an intellectual piece of suspense, Flying Hero Class can hardly be surpassed * Observer *
Guaranteed to keep you on the edge of your seat . . . by the time the narrative puts its breaks on, you find he has navigated his fast-moving thriller over an impressive amount of thematic territory * The Sunday Times *
Enthralling . . . ranks with Keneally's Booker-winning best * Daily Mail *
A novel of great scope, intelligence and humanity * The Scotsman *
A fast, memorable read . . . when we look at the century in retrospect, he will emerge as one of the great writers * Literary Review *
A smooth and elevated entertainment * Independent *
The reader's anxiety is awoken soon after take-off and is kept to a high pitch throughout * The Times *
Thomas Keneally has a keen eye for out-of-the-way cultural juxtapositions. Along with it goes an energetically eclectic imagination . . . out of the atmosphere on a beleaguered aircraft, he generates stifling suspense * The Sunday Times *
