Tony Boccaccio is after a bag of cash that he believes is his. Max Burke thinks otherwise and has hired two couriers to take the money to California.

Mickey Soto is a commercial pilot hauling freight and instructing students from a small, Florida airport. Tony hires Mickey and his airplane to go after the couriers. Mickey thought his days of flying illegal cargo were behind him, but the lure of easy money and his policy of 'don't ask/don't tell' cause him to add to his history of poor decisions.

Tony's cousin, Gina, jumps in to help, and the three of the end up in a desperate cross-crountry race that leads to a West Coast pier and a fateful decision by Tony that impacts their lives in ways that none of them could have foreseen.

5.0 out of 5 stars Head Wind. Flying is fun. Sometimes the money isn't worth it - or is it?

There are crooks, and then there are crooks. And pilots. And when Tony Baccaccio has a bag of money that he thinks is his, and Max Burke thinks otherwise, Max hires two couriers to take the money to California via motorhome.

Now Mickey Soto, a commercial pilot with not a lot of money, hauling freight and teaching students from a small Florida airport is hired by Tony to fly him after the money. Then Gina, Tony's cousin gets involved and then things get really complicated, and exciting, and I'm not going to spoil the story for you. This is a must read. Edge of your seat all the way. Great book. Grab it and read it. You won't be sorry.

Head Wind (by Christopher Hudson) is the kind of book I look for when I want to spend my hard earned money. The way the story flowed, plot and character development not to mention the action and suspense, made for really good reading. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys spending time sitting in their favorite chair in front of their fireplace.

I really enjoyed Headwind. Adventure right from the beginning. Mickey Soto really stepped into trouble and the author - Christopher Hudson - got him out alive and in one piece. Great character development. This book never had any down time so I had a hard time stepping away. I can definitely see this as a movie and Betty could steal the show. I will recommend this book to my friends. I hope that Mr. Hudson continues to write, I look forward to his next novel.

I LOVED this book. It isn't often that I get totally sucked in from the start and don't want to stop reading. But this was one of those books...and I'd love to see it as a movie. Great character development, really fun plot filled with some very creative situations. This was my first Chris Hudson novel--but I enjoyed his style so much, I'm going to pick up Northern Cross, his first book.

A friend gave me a copy of "Northern Cross" by Hudson that I liked very much. So browsing for any more of his stuff, I found "Headwind". What a fun story! Just the right amount of excitement and humor in an ever-changing scenario that stays interesting and doesn't get bogged down. This could easily be an entertaining movie.
