While escorting two former child soldiers from Africa to their adoptive home in England, the skills of kidnap negotiator expert Thea Paris are put to the ultimate test. After the plane on which they are traveling is hijacked, Thea ends up in a race against time to save both the passengers of the jet and the part of the world in her immediate purview. With the help of her team, will the subsequent search for the truth bring about the desired conclusion?
There was a lot to like about Skyjack, with its nonstop action and strong characterization. Although the story does get a little too repetitive and overly complicated where it does not need to be, the overall plot is well paced and exciting. Thea Paris is a determined woman with a great skill set and a good head on her shoulders. I did not think that it was necessary for Thea to be written with a personal medical challenge to face, as it really did not add anything to the book. There were also too many foes in Skyjack, which allows the plot to lose its way over the course of the novel. Readers who like spy novels and thrillers in general will like Skyjack for its suspense and fast paced action.
