Flying Hero Class Reviews

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 *
