About this ebook

Africa 1983: Post-colonial Africa is a place for men with an eye for the main chance. Affreight Express - a charter company that doesn’t ask too many questions - rides the tide of change in the newly independent Republic of Mongoma. Against a turbulent backdrop of Realpolitik and brutal rebellion, egotistical chairman Toogood Kibovo dreams of building the leading airfreight company in all Africa.
Captain William Gunn, raised in Glasgow slums, is a pilot with a past who seeks redemption in assisting Kibovo to achieve his goal. Ambitious young Australian pilot, Gary Sunnex, and troubled Kulzwanan flight engineer, Salim Njami, crew a fateful flight taking them beyond the 'Critical Point' and sets them on a dangerous path to an unknown future.
Fasten your seatbelt; Critical Point takes you into the cockpits of those anonymous jet freighters airline passengers seldom notice at airports - and into the hidden lives of the men who fly them.

Geoffrey Waring

A product of small town New Zealand, Geoffrey went to sea at sixteen. After ten years wandering a wider world on NZ and Norwegian cargo ships he returned to NZ for deck officers examinations, but faster travel appealed and he gained a Commercial Pilot’s licence in 1967. Over thirty years he's flown bi-planes to wide body jetliners. He’s lived and worked in places diverse as Port Moresby, Port of Spain, Jeddah and Johannesburg during his travels. After 40 expatriate years he returned home in 1997 to farm deer. He now lives on a lifestyle property where he indulges urges to write and talk to animals.
