While not my favorite Nance book (that would be "Blackout"), "Skyhook" was very good, even if there seemed to be more filler than usual. The plot was a solid - a black ops project involving the installation of software onto military planes in order to return them to a base if their crew has become incapacitated or unable to fly the plane normally.
Nance does his usual good work with character creation and development. The protagonists are all good people who are easy to like and root for. Again, as with other Nance novels, there are a number of plot twists that will keep readers moving forward - especially near the end of the book, so keep with it. (

One truth is that when you pick up a novel by John Nance, you are guranteed a great read. While this isn't my favorite Nance, it's still a long ways from disappointing. Ben Cole is working on a scheme that would essentially enable unmanned fights but at the 11th hour a snag that makes no sense is causing him great worry. Meanwhile an expert private pilot out with his wife mysteriously crashes and the FAA slams him with negligence. Nance makes every bit of all of it fit together in a thrilling story. (
