Description

"A steamy beach read. Hunt's debut novel will appeal to men and women alike. Sex, drugs and intrigue intertwine as Ian MacAran struggles to navigate life with the same precision he uses in the air. With surprising ups and downs, the always-entertaining story takes on a feeling much like the flights described in its pages. Ian, though flawed, proves to be a likable, sympathetic hero." - Kirkus Reviews. "Written well and filled with the life-or-death urgency sought in the action-adventure genre. A dark sense of humor may be the book's strongest quality, as it enhances character interaction and dialogue. Hunt subtly reminds the reader not to take the events too seriously. He infuses his protagonists with a Bruce Willis style of acceptance, a mixture of funny sarcasm and calm reasoning. Three out of five stars." - Julia Ann Charpentier, ForeWord Reviews Ian MacAran and Sandra Taylor meet on a charter flight to Vegas and from the first 'hello' they seem destined to be together. That is, until Bernie Selleca sees them together on a date. Bernie is Sandra's ex and Bernie begins to plan a very different future for the new couple. The first step of her gambit involves seducing Ian. While powerful feelings for two talented, passionate women might seem like a recipe for disaster, the mistake that dooms them all is Ian's agreement to make a 'risk free' flight to Mexico with a quirky student pilot. Soon Ian gets drawn into a maelstrom of duplicitous drug deals, murderous turf wars and insider trading. His choices twist and flicker like smoke in a cocaine-covered mirror. Everything Ian loves is in jeopardy, he has no idea who he can trust and he's unwittingly become the key to an insane addict's corporate takeover. And then there's Bernie. From flight lessons to fire-fights and high finance, Above It All spins a tense tale of passion, betrayal and true love. Tangled feelings between pilot, lawyer and architect frame a romantic thriller that delivers suspense, humor and a love affair to stretch the boundaries of the genre. When asked about his first appearance in fiction, Ian MacAran said, "Hell of a ride! Hunt captures the essence of flight and the plot keeps me guessing at every turn. It makes sense for Mick to be more than what he seems and I get that Sandy becomes leverage for the bad guys, but Bernie catches me completely off guard! I have no idea she has an agenda until long after I've fallen for her. Wow I still can't believe she falls for me! Not that I'd change anything, I mean Bernie and Sandy are the best things in the whole book, and they're, uh, very well written." Private Investigator Orson Douglas would neither confirm nor deny that he'll return in Hunt's next novel Bad Dharma but he was all smiles when talking about Above It All. "From the moment I meet Ian, my life takes on a whole new level of meaning. I find a path, you know? I find purpose. And I love the effort Hunt puts in to nail the details. All the little stuff meshes perfectly and the McGuffin is brilliant! It was worth taking a bullet just to be part of this project." Yuri Milanov, who once had business cards listing -Criminal Mastermind- as his occupation, thoroughly enjoyed Above It All. He said, "Okay, the cards were for a Halloween party in junior high, but as to the book: I was quite happy with my small, albeit pivotal role in the whole adventure. From the beginning our author's architectural background is quite obvious in the intricate structure of the work and his elegant attention to detail. I was particularly glad to see most of the story threads resolved. This book has some delightful surprises and very few loose ends. I don't like loose ends. Alas, a few of my own concerns were left unresolved, but I have been promised a moment or two in Bad Dharma.' I'm confident quite a lot can be accomplished in a cameo."
