Resumen del Editor

For the passengers and crew, American Cruise Airlines Flight 839 was supposed to be a routine red-eye. But destiny often changes people’s lives in ways they can’t imagine. When a dinosaur fossil is unearthed in the central Nevada desert, the last thing Andrea Alejandro, a graduate student in paleontology, expected to find was the tail section of an airplane in the same strata of Earth.

After Flight 839 crash lands in unfamiliar terrain, Sarah documents the daily routine she and her fellow passengers follow, waiting to be saved. Slowly but surely the survivors come to realize that they have crossed through time. The daily horrors of Cretaceous life become clearer as they encounter a family of Tyrannosaurus rexes that grows increasingly interested in the survivors and their shell of an airplane. As timelines collide, one woman’s battle for survival becomes another woman’s fight for the truth.

Tomorrow’s Flight is the new novel from Amazon best-selling authors M.E. Ellington and Steven Stiefel.

Why is she whispering? Is this a joke?

Not fully done with the book yet but the narrator is so annoying I couldn't let it go. You literally have to turn the volume sky high to hear her and when you do you start to get that feedback noise. No idea why she thinks it's appropriate to whisper throughout the whole performance. She also rambles aimlessly and often doesn't pause between characters and or chapters. One transition between chapters she was just quite for about 10 seconds and you can hear her breathing before she again starts whispering on with the next segment

It takes so much away from the story which seams to be great. I'm almost ready to give up and return it based on that alone.

"Jurassic Park" meets "Lost"

I enjoyed the narration and found this novel to be very well-written, particularly for its genre. One expects a light beach read from a work that features time travel/dinosaurs/science fiction. However, I thought it was conceptually sophisticated: the story is founded on a series of divisions: past and present, the protagonists who navigate each timeline, and the group dynamics that occur in each time period.

I particularly liked that the main characters in each timeline were women with different challenges, each strong in their own way. I would definitely recommend this book to others.

Average

I am going to be as honeat as I can without spoiling the story. The concept is wonderful and I truly got it for that, but it is flawed in the exicution. Instead of it being a mystery it turns more into someone knows what happend and has to spend the whole book trying to convince everyone else the truth. For the other side of the story it doesn't use firet person as you would expect when retelling someones life in a terrible situation but over plays third person and has zero closer on the darker side of it all. Plus I would say the main character is not either cemale but the main crash investigator. As for other parts of the book the chapter structure is confusing, each one is seperated in parts that makes the story feel unguided and mixed.

Finally the narrator needs to be replaced, her performance is subpar. The extreamly long pauses between parts and chapters shows the lack of editing. The lack of character differences in the voices breaks the emersion unless its the writer of the diary then it becomes so hushed and in audible. Also if you listen close enough you can hear the sound of chimes, pages rustleing and the tapping of an object on a table. The entire time I was listening I felt like a kid in school listening to a teacher read a book, not the best way to get someone to enjoy a story.

This had such great possibilities

I kept waiting for the story, and the character development.....it never happened. The inconsistencies and outright illogical behaviors of the characters made the story simply annoying. Add the "woke" racist comments and it became what seemed like a literary project authored for a college project. The book was awful! Just awful!
The narration was just as bad. The narrator whispered half the time, and simply ignored the different characters! Long periods of silence and strange background noises followed by breathless whispering that I could not even hear at times....
I wish I could get my credit back......Pass on this one!!!!
