“Portland author Dayna Haynes has a thriller here that grabs you within the first few pages. True to the requirements of any good thriller, he succeeds at maintaining a high level of suspense, whether or not you feel you know where the story is headed. The Portland setting for the majority of storyline makes it that much more fun to read. Dennis Silverman is a lead tech for Gamelan Industries, makers of the latest state-of-the-art flight data recorder. Silverman has decided to get rich by making software adjustments to the Gamelan, giving him the remote ability to cause a plane to crash—an ability he believes terrorists with money will be willing to pay for. The “crashers” are the experts from the National Transportation Safety Board who investigate and determine the cause of air transport incidences. The lead inspector and protagonist, Tommy Tomzak, is a well-developed character with the requisite amount of baggage for an ‘inspector’ lead character. This isn’t high literature by any means, but it is fun.”—Brad, Paulina Springs Book Company, with locations in Sisters and Redmond, WA. Buy Crashers from Paulina Springs Book Company.
