Jack Crittendon does not know how his life has ended up
like
this. Having lost his job as a successful journalist, he
now
finds himself at home, minding the children, while his
eight
month pregnant wife, Pam, has been forced to return to the
workforce, to make ends meet. And we must not forget that
his
mother-in-law, who is suffering from early dementia, is
also
living with them. Desperately wanting to provide for his
family, his anger and frustration are beginning to damage
his
marriage, and Jack wonders can his life get any worse. But
things can always get worse.
Working part time for an events company is Jacks lifeline
at
the moment and he enjoys spending time with his colleague
and
friend Brian Shakespeare, who is an ex soldier with a
survivalist mentality. While working a political event for
Senator Stirling, a national security threat erupts around
them. When terrorists take over the arena, holding
thousands
of people hostage, including Jack's entire family, Jack
and
Brian spring into action. As bullets start to fly, Pam
goes
into labour, and Shakespeare gets injured, will Jack be
able
to protect his family and live to tell the tale? And when
the
terrorist plot takes an even more sinister turn, will Jack
do
the right thing even though it could jeopardise everything
he
holds dear?
SKY ZONE by Creston Mapes is a thrilling political tale
with
many twists and turns to keep the reader riveted. It is
not
just a story of political upheaval, but also of family and
faith, and the true test of never giving up, and I enjoyed
the
added dimension that the secondary characters bring to the
novel. SKY ZONE by Creston Mapes is a gripping read full
of
action and deception.
This heart-stopping sequel to Poison Town and
Fear Has a Name skillfully weaves storylines of marriage,
family, and friendships with a thundering, tension-laced
plot that will leave fiction-lovers breathless.
Jack and Pamela Crittendon have hit the breaking point.
After months out of work as a reporter, Jack is playing
Mr.
Mom and working part-time at Festival Arena with his
survivalist friend Brian Shakespeare. Meanwhile, Pamela
has
gone back to work full-time while eight months pregnant.
With financial pressures boiling, Jack reports for duty at
a
rally for a controversial presidential candidate, where he
expects a mindless night on the job. But when Homeland
picks
up intelligence about a potential terrorist threat, Jack
and
Shakespeare are thrust into a life-or-death battle to save
their own lives--and those of thousands of innocent
people.
