Review # 1 was written on 2010-03-31 00:00:00 Elizabeth Schafer This was a wowzer of a thriller. A sabotaged jet goes down in Oregon and the "crashers" from the National Transportation Board have to figure out what happened before another plane is brought down in a few days. Tight writing with lots of page-burning suspense along with interesting details on crash investigation, although I'm warning everyone that there are few stomach-churning details so have a dramamine handy. A great read for anyone who loves John Nance and other writers who write disaster thrillers.

Review # 2 was written on 2010-07-08 00:00:00 Benjamin Andrews I had seen this novel advertised on Goodreads and thought, why not, get a hold of it. I was not disappointed; this is a very good debut thriller from Dana Haynes. Crashers have to do with the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) and what they do after a plane crash. The Crashers are those that respond to the accident and reconstruct it so they can figure out what the cause was, and make sure the same thing does not happen in the future. Dana Haynes puts together a very nice group of characters and weaves a plot with them that moves at a nice pace. Did I know anything at all about the NTSB before this novel, no not really, my interest level wasn't that high. He made me interested in it though and I enjoyed the insights he brought to bear. The plot was interesting, but the thing I enjoyed the most was the character interplay and the way he brought the novel to a conclusion. The knots were all tied together, loose ends were non-excistent,and I was wanting for more. Thankfully, this is fiction, so me wanting to reading the next in the series will involve no fatalities except on the pages of the novel. Haynes has that level of realism to Crashers .I enjoyed being educated on the inner workings of the NTSB and how it operates when a crisis occurs as much as I enjoyed the story he used to wrap it around, a win/win for all. Crashers is very good novel, whether it is his first or tenth. It is filled with humor, humanity, realism, and intrigue. The story moves at a good pace and is very hard to put down. This novel may crack our top ten for the period, that is how good it is. Put this one in your Goodreads -to read- list at the very least. What are you reading today?
