NCLA Review -Hank Hazard is still trying to find his true calling after his parents die in a freak hot tub accident years earlier. A former homeschooler who worked as a mime in the family’s clown troupe, he lands a job as an airline customer service evaluator posing as a passenger. On Flight 1945 to Amsterdam, he begins a zany journey filled with outrageous characters—a pig with an attitude, a menopausal flight attendant, a jewel thief and an imposter posing as a federal agent. Along the way Hank takes the opportunity to evangelize a passenger having boyfriend issues. The adventure leaves you laughing throughout the book. When it appears they will be forced to crash land some of the characters take a realistic look at their broken show more lives. In this third installment of the Occupational Hazard series, Gutteridge skillfully weaves several story lines into one terrific book with a gentle Christian message. Highly Recommended Rating: 4 —NSK Waterbrook 2008, 325p, paper, 9781400071593, $12.99 [FIC] show less
