The Last Hostage

Summary: An Action Extravaganza
Review: Dr. Konnilyn Feig: I "love" action movies - to get away from it all. Nothing pleases me more on a weekend than to see movies like CON AIR, SPEED, 007, SUBWAY, AIRPORT, etc. And in that same genre, nothing pleases me more than to read a Nance book. I grab it off the shelves the moment it arrives and curl up and read it through. This book is his best - in a collection of "take your mind off things" novels. Even his non-fiction is exciting. What a great weekend thriller. Better than a movie.

Summary: Story is contrived & fails to elicit sympathy from reader.
Review: From the time the Captain heads into the lavatory when he realized Bostich was aboard, reader is aware that he (Captain) could have no bomb, so why did it take the astute FBI agent so long to figure that one out? Were we to assume Wolfe just flew around have-bomb-will-hijack just in case he ran into Bostich? Couldn't work up any sympathy for Wolfe since he was in the process of terrifying people to satisfy his own needs - the ends justify the means type of scenario. Characters didn't ring true. Nance seemed to be trying to pattern his female FBI agent after the one in Silence of the Lambs, came far short. I stuck with it to the end, could have read something better. Won't recommend it to anyone.

Summary: Sit back and Enjoy! You've been highjacked!
Review: This is a great thriller. I found the characters to be very complicated and interesting... I couldn't put this book down waiting to find out what would be discovered next! Nance takes you on a wild thriller of a ride, you never know where you may end up, and it keeps you guessing the entire flight! I highly recommend this book to readers who enjoy a great adventure!

Summary: Be Taken Hostage by the Best Book You Will Ever Read!!!
Review: This is by far the best book i have ever read. The last hostage truly does take the reader "hostage".
After the captain of the 737 takes the crew and passengers hostage until the Attourny General confesses to releasing the man who murdered his daughter, he finds out that the attourny general is in possession of kiddie porn, PLUS the attourny general has a secret about the captain's daughter's murderer that he isnt telling the police. The Last Hostage is an intense book that will keep you guessing until the end.

Summary: Excellent read!
Review: This is the first Nance novel I have read, and I couldn't put it down! Started it at 9 in the morning and finished it just after 4. Very fast paced book. Other than the slight distraction that someone didn't catch the location glitch on page 303, it was pretty spellbinding.

Summary: THE LAST HOSTAGE - A spellbinder to the end
Review: Unconventional and untested rookie FBI agent Katherine Bronsky is thrusted into the middle of a skyjacking of a Boeing 737 over the Rocky Mountains. The hijacker has a bizarre list of demands that Kat attempts to fill before the plane crashes and burns. The hijacker does not want money or free passage to an extradition-free country; the perp wants another perp brought to justice for an alleged capital crime. The irony is not lost on Kat and the others involved.

The tension and suspense climbs constantly until the story line lands on a clever note. Maybe not necessarily a plausible landing, but one that is entertaining and satisfying. This is a fun quick read. Arthur John Nance has made THE LAST HOSTAGE the reader, from start to finish.
