Glidepath

By: Andrew Watts

Narrated by: Michael Pauley

When Charles Fend announces the Fend 100 aircraft, the world's first fully autonomous commercial airliner, he is praised for being a pioneer in aviation history. The Fend 100 will bring a new dawn of commercial flying to the world. One where human pilots are replaced by AI machines that will navigate over 100,000 flights per day. The first flight is a celebratory spectacle - the Fend headquarters crowded with news teams, technology lovers, and aviation enthusiasts. The atmosphere is jovial, and everyone is eager to celebrate.

Until something goes terribly wrong.

The Fend 100 suddenly begins an uncommanded descent over the Atlantic, and neither the engineers on the ground nor the test pilots aboard can override the controls....

But who is responsible?

Is it the wealthy ex-KGB agent, Pavel Morozov, who has shown up from a past Charles had long-forgotten?

Or was it Charles' son, Max - on the run from the FBI after he was accused of sending Fend Aerospace corporate secrets to a criminal enterprise?

And just who is Max Fend?

Is he the man that the media makes him out to be - the wild playboy son of an aerospace tycoon? Or is he what the FBI suspects - an international criminal, mixed up in a Russian espionage game? And why is there a top secret personnel file on him that even his FBI investigator isn't allowed to see?

Glidepath is a race to uncover the truth, before it comes crashing down from above....

Great STory

Would you listen to Glidepath again? Why?

No, the narrator couldn't keep up with his voiced characters. When reading female and male voices he would start out okay but after a few voice changes, they became the same. I think I would rather just have him read it and not try different voices. It got confusing

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

It started slow but 2-3 chapters into the story I was hooked.

How could the performance have been better?

Maybe just read the book instead performing. If it's going to be performed, remember which voice was used for the different characters instead of interchanging them.

Okay story, annoying narration

An adequate story was ruined by a narrator who set my teeth on edge with his droning voice and awkward character voices. If you are one who can ignore that sort of thing, you might enjoy the action and plot twists.

Worthwhile espionage suspense thriller!

I enjoyed this novel. The average Audible rating is 4.0 stars (vs. 4.4 at Amazon and 4.1 at Goodreads), but the three Audible reviews average 1.3 stars. When the second book in the series is released I will purchase and listen to it.

Suspense!!!!

Wasn’t sure I was going to finish this book, But it turned out to be a great read!!!!!

poor naration

the narrator was awful. It sounded like a computer reading. Couldn't get past chapter 3
