Avail Yourself Ghost Flight (Will Jaeger, #1) Devised By Bear Grylls Distributed In Hardcover
on Ghost Flight (Will Jaeger, #1)
got this from Audible, I usually play a book at bedtime as it always puts my husband to sleep, Not this time. I actually caught him sneaking away with my phone to listen to it! It's not just a man's book but one of the best adventure/thriller/suspense books I've ever listened to.
Does Bear really have time to write books or does someone else do it in his name This is the book equivalent of watching Bear Grylls masturbate in front of a mirror for eight hours.
From Book:
His sitelinkFacebook bio says that “Bear Grylls has become known around the world as one of the most recognized faces of survival and outdoor adventure.
”
I first heard about Bear Grylls seven years ago when I was on my vacation visiting my friends in Sweden and we watched his Ultimate Survival also known as Born Survivor/Man vs.
Wild on the Discovery Channel, Needless to say that Bear Grylls captured my attention on the spot, that I wanted to see more of him, making me check for him online immediately after returning home to Croatia.
I loved the concept of his show in which he was left stranded with his crew in
an unfamiliar wilderness rainforests, glaciers, deserts, islands, to name just a few with only one goal: to survive and find his way back to civilization.
The similar pattern follows his entertaining and exciting thriller sitelinkGhost Flight, Packed with action, adventure, beautiful landscapes of the remote Amazon jungle where lies hidden a mysterious WWII warplane, sitelinkGhost Flight guarantees to keep even the most demanding fans of this genre glued to its pages.
It is so easy to picture Bear Grylls, an exsoldier and a survivor, as an exsoldier Will Jaeger, also a leader of a team of former elite warriors in their quest to uncover the mystery of the hidden warplane and the secret of Nazi evil forces Wir sind die Zukunft that lie buried in it.
I am a sucker for WWII novels and I am a sucker for Amazon rainforest, When those two are combined, you have an explosive reading before you, You are drinking up a cocktail made of ghosts from not so recent past, to majority of people almost forgotten, but the ghosts which are patiently waiting for their moment of the rise of the new Reich, and a pristine nature beaming with both beautiful and deadly life.
sitelinkGhost Flight is a successful debut novel with interesting and welldeveloped characters, full of action, twists and turns and gripping moments.
It is also a very detailed novel which probably might not help us in a fight against the rise of a new Reich if it comes to it, but it could very well serve us as a survival guide in a primeval rainforest if we ever find ourselves in our personal mission under the canopy of magnificent trees where neither evil Nazis nor modernday humans got to leave their destructive imprint.

sitelinkwww, bernardjan. com Goodreads Giveaway Poorly written, and not even believable, The main character goes from being tortured for weeks and not being able to move without it being a huge effort to fighting and trekking through the jungle in what felt like described as a couple days, if that! Will is so inconsistent.
Only two of his team members have any personality, the rest are just fillers, He isn't really affected by other characters deaths and things always handily work themselves out, Don't bother with this book, I honestly don't have a bad word to say about this book! I had no idea that Bear Grylls was a writer until a colleague of mine gave me this book to read.
I love how he used personal experience and knowledge to allow the reader to imagine the setting, The book grabs you pulls you in a doesn't let you go!
I had no idea the book was going to be part of a series so I now have to impenitently wait for the next book to come out so it can answer the many questions that were left up in the air at the end of the book! A strange warplane is discovered deep in the Amazon jungle, in a spot of dead land, a group of exmilitary and intelligence personnel is gathered to try and retrieve the relic.
But when the chosen leader of the group is found dead, presumably by suicide, they need to find a replacement.
A replacement that has been meant as the first leader, but could not be found,
Well, they've found William Jaeger, although not in pristine condition, and the mission is a go once more.
A mission into the deep of the jungle where the jungle itself proves to be the lesser of threats.
There is a force, a Dark Force, that would stop at nothing to prevent Jaeger's team to reach the downed plane first.
Or at all.
The hunter has just become the prey,
I admit at having picked up the book from the shelf at my local bookstore solely because of the author's name on the cover, but I bought it because of the intriguing blurb.
When I started reading it, there was a little apprehension, for not all blurbs truly reflect the story, and, yes, a little bit because of the author as well.
Not many survivalexperts turned TVpersonalities can write good fiction,
The apprehension was soon gone, though, at the first page, with the cockroach scene, I was hooked. And it was all smooth sailing in terms of reading and enjoying the plot from then on,
The book doesn't offer nonstop action, leaving the reader a few chances to breathe in between, but even during the notsoactiony scenes, the pacing doesn't let up.
The story never gets boring, the flow never stops, the pacing is continuous, even picking up speed and urgency as you approach the end.
There isn't a dull moment, the reader is kept guessing and wondering alongside the characters in the book, kept on his toes, at the edge of the seat.
. . And turning page after page to discover what might happen next,
The characters are vividly depicted and realistic, the plot is engaging and gripping, the pacing perfectly balanced, and though the book contains a bit of military jargon, the quick and efficient explanations and/or translations of it make it easy to follow and not cumbersome.
There's mystery, conspiracies, shadowy enemies, engaging action, a little bit of history thrown in, . . I just loved it from beginning to end, and I'm so very happy at having obtained the second book in the series before I read the first one, because Ghost Flight ends on a cliffhanger so beware of rather enormous proportions herowise and "history"wise.
I know this review does the book no justice, but it's difficult to write something more elaborate and "profound" without descending into a detailed discussion of the plot and minutae of different scenes which could spoil the enjoyment of future readers.
Let me just say I loved it from beginning to end, and I can't wait to read what happens next.
