The Last Flight: A Novel

Set against the harsh beauty of Alaska, a veteran helicopter pilot is torn between ending his own embattled life and rescuing survivors from a mountain plane crash.

Last Flight is the heroic story of Gil Connor, a senior Army helicopter pilot and aging Vietnam vet, as he struggles with an impending terminal illness and the desire to pull off one last daring rescue. Connor finds himself in a constant battle against his internal demons during his quest to reach the survivors of a remote, commuter-plane crash deep in the Alaskan mountains — a rescue that only he can pull off.

Haunted by the horrors of war and a turbulent past, Connor is torn between ending his life before the inevitable and saving the marooned crash victims. Amid the turmoil of an approaching storm and almost certain failure, his underlying intentions are unknown, even to himself, until the very end.
