Reviews for The Wilkes Insurrection

[lorisbook · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

The checklist on page one of The Wilkes Insurrection notes the importance of Johnny's preparation for flight 209.The book combines historical events with some fictional characters. The author does flesh out the characters well by building crucial relationships and the scene-setting kept me turning the page as it helped in determining the character's behavior.Johnny boards the aircraft and soon after I felt as if he entered a virtual reality. I imagined Johnny an algorithm, manifested at the speed of light, operated on a computing machine. The storyline definitely points out the ethical virtue of benevolence. We find there is personal growth amongst great tragedy and there is a disposition to do good when there is serious and immediate danger. I read and reread these pages. In the end, I believe the author is presenting humanness. And you may just get from this story what you put into it.
