Carley Downs, medical doctor with the Peace Corps and first daughter to the United States, has been mistakenly abducted by the Guatemalan drug cartel. Without knowing Carley’s true identity, the cartel believes someone in her medical team is in possession of sensitive information involving cartel activities.

President Harlan Downs must decide on an expedient, low profile rescue operation before his daughter’s captors discover Carley’s true identity and force the United States into impossible negotiations for her release.

Matthew and Chase McWain, highly decorated former U.S. Marine Corps aviators, are struggling to make a success of their flying service in the short time they have been out of the Corps. The president has been made aware of Matthew’s special skills flying for Force Recon and has requested him to lead the rescue op. Matt and his team discover that the cartel has established an alliance with an Iranian terrorist organization. Time is quickly running out for Matt to snatch Carley from the cartel’s grasp before they deliver her into the hands of terrorists who will surely recognize the first daughter.

Outmanned and outgunned, the rescue team find themselves locked into life or death struggles, first with the cartel, and later with the notoriously savage Iranian terrorist leader, Ahmad Hassam, as all three fight for the possession of Carley Downs.

Descrizione prodotto

L'autore

Carl A. Sparks considers himself blessed to be a firefighter with 42-years in the fire service. He is also a commercial pilot and certificated flight instructor. Carl lives in Branson, Missouri with his lovely wife, Sue, and is blessed with a son and daughter and five grandchildren. Teaching his son and one granddaughter to fly are some of God’s many blessings. Besides flying, writing and reading, he enjoys spending time with his family and traveling. Rescue Flight is his first published works with fiction, though there have been five precious attempts over the years while puttering with the keyboard in what he describes as a highly undisciplined manner. He is now at work on the first of two sequels.

5,0 su 5 stelle Off the chart
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 17 marzo 2014

I love action books and regularly read Thor, Baldacci, Clancy, Grisham, Flynn, etc. This book was right there with them and better in many ways. It started a little slow but the plot and action were paced very well and did an incredible job building, so much so you won't put it down(just ask my wife...) Most action books always make mike little mistakes here and there and being a gun guy, I'm critical in that regard, but the details were nailed down, used ideas and enhancements to the story that were very original, and gave the story a very realistic feel, keeping the players human. While many books in this genre don't have a lot of hope, Carl Sparks did an awesome job keeping it quality, clean, and honoring. Ended up reading the whole book in two sitting, it was off the chart and am impatiently waiting for the next one.

4,0 su 5 stelle Great plot, some major errors
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 30 settembre 2013

This book had a great plot, and it was certainly full of action, twists and turns, and kept me interested and reading.

The author obviously knows a great deal about flying, both helicopters and planes. Either that or he did a great deal of research.

However, this level of research didn't cover one of the major premises of the book, and this needs to be addressed.

Peace Corps Volunteers never (NEVER) travel around a country doing outreach work with missionaries. They just don't. Peace Corps is funded by the US government - and we have the separation of church and state. Peace Corps Volunteers work with a counterpart who is always a host country national; the point of Peace Corps is to share information and train that host country counterpart. So if Carley Downs were indeed a Peace Corps Volunteer doctor, she'd be travelling around the country with Guatemalan doctors, doing outreach work. Or she might be located at a hospital (possibly a mission hospital), teaching Guatemalan medical students. Or working side by side with other medical instructors, sharing knowledge and developing their skills. The point of Peace Corps is to work ourselves out of a job. (I was a Peace Corps Volunteer in Liberia, West Africa, and I was so excited to find a book that includes a major character who is a PCV. I was truly appalled by the misinformation in this book.)

Secondly, while I accept that there are usually some grammatical errors that are overlooked (such as commas in the wrong place, or verbs that don't agree with the nouns), there were glaring errors in this book.

McWain's means it BELONGS to a McWain. If you want to say more than one McWain, it is a simple S. McWains. No apostrophe. The apostrophe is either possessive, or in a contraction (such as can't). That is it.

"Antiquated" means out of date. An heirloom chair would be an antique, not antiquated.

"Dominate" is a verb, not an adjective. Someone would have a DOMINANT personality.

"Bazaar" is a market, like an Arab souk. "Bizarre" is the word for strange circumstances.

(Sorry, if someone is going to write a book, no matter how wonderful the plot, they really should have a better grasp of the English language. Or hire an editor. Please.)

I hope the author reads this review and makes some of these changes. Other than the glaring problem with the ignorance of how the Peace Corps functions, and the various editing errors and malaprops, I thought it was a good story.

5,0 su 5 stelle One of the best books by a first time author I've ever read.

I'm a female who enjoys reading Clive Cussler, Vince Flynn, Ted Bell and Brad Thor. I often download books by new, self-published authors on Kindle looking for real undiscovered talent. Some of the free and low cost books are pretty lousy. This is not one of the them. I'll actually look for and buy his future books for my Kindle.

Yes, there are some editorial corrections that need to be made but they didn't distract from the fast paced, suspense filled writing. The story kept me so interested I couldn't wait to get to the next page to see what happened.

I applaud authors like Mr. Sparks who put their heart and soul into writing, then e-publish their work to fulfill long time dreams of writing a novel, and open themselves to honest (and sometimes tactless) critique that can be humbling, horrifying, exhilarating and frustrating in equal measures.

I thoroughly enjoyed Rescue Flight. I'm glad to have found this book and look forward to more from him. I looked for this author on Facebook or somewhere so I could sign up for updates about his future work but didn't have any luck finding anything. I hope there's somewhere to be able to keep in touch.

From the first page until the last one, this is a fantastic ride. If you can put this book down without finishing it then you must have an emergency. There was no way i could stop reading the next page until i reached the last one. Absolute a real fun and exciting time with these people who seem like friends by the end. Thanks for a very well written, exciting book. Thank you.

Action Plus. This novel has lots of it. I am a reader who loves to become engaged in such a story. The characters are so alive and the dialogue is so filled with entertaining quips that it is easy to like them. I am sitting here writing this bereft of no more story to carry me away in the company of these people I have gotten invested in and wanting for more time with them. I am very pleased to see there is a sequel. I am strongly motivated to get my hands on it straight away. I don't need to speak so much of what the story is about because that has been done enough in the reviews here, but rather the great skill of the storyteller is terrific. Mr. Sparks has done an amazing job in this his first novel. I feel as if I learned a lot about aircraft and flying from this story. That was fun and so very authentic. I liked that part a lot and I could see there was a lot of research that went into the writing of it.
