    One of the better Bookshots I've read in a while. ( )

    Quick adventure about Jack and Cole, two brothers who lost their father in a plane racing accident. The brothers want to continue their father's legacy, but are short on cash, so they get involved with Leon, a gangster, and steal jets for him. Jack and Cole meet Natalie, another racing pilot, and decide they need to get out of the theft business, especially after the FBI comes after them.
    A quick read, with a fast plot. Entertaining, but not deep, which is what all the Bookshots are meant to do.

    Rarely do I find a story glorifying criminals all that entertaining, unless it's Robin Hood. This ain't Robin Hood.

    Two brothers watch their father die in a plane crash during a plane race in Nevada. Fast forward and they are crack pilots, determined to make good on their father's passion to win this particular race. The problem is, racing planes is expensive. Ostensibly, they have a plane repair and customization business, but it doesn't bring in enough clients to pay the bill for their racing. They make up the difference stealing planes for a mobster, who pays them a fraction of the value.

    The story has very much a "Smoky and the Bandit" vibe and is an entertaining short story if you're into that sort of thing. ( )
