Flaps Down

"Five Stars!" -- A. Burroughs on Amazon. If you are a fan of Humphrey Bogart and The African Queen or Indiana Jones and Raiders of the Lost Ark, you will love this book . Parnell Stillman, ace pilot, is man to the bone in a lackadaisical kind of way. He has the ability to fly through anything except solid mountain. He lives alone because people are not to be trusted - especially women. Flying is his high road until one sleet-filled morning--it isn't. Mischance forces his plane down in a frozen wilderness. He can survive, but his live cargo is another matter--an annoying social worker and five orphans--the most irksome freight he's ever hauled in his life. Rebecca Hollis is determined to force the obnoxious, disagreeable, self-centered pilot to do whatever is necessary to insure the survival and rescue of the orphans... Even if it means making the noble gesture of keeping her mouth shut - or other womanly things. But the pilot isn't having it. No way. No how. No time. He'd rather dance with a grizzly or wrestle a puma than give his heart over to a sly, conniving, wily do-gooder. He's not into heroics. Rebecca has other ideas - lots of them! All artful and disingenuous - one of which is bound to work... she hopes.
