Lisa Wilkes has flown for a major airline since 2010. In that time, she has composed 12 internal articles and revised the company’s 500-page flight attendant manual. Her romance novel, Flight Path, was published in January of 2020. That same year, Lisa published a short story, Six Hours or So, in a charitable anthology. Mid-Flight is Lisa’s first foray into the realm of science fiction. Her internship in a Behavioral Health Unit, while attaining her Master’s in Social Work, shaped this futuristic thriller.

My Review:

I haven’t read much dystopian fiction, so I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. The story begins in 2037-a very bad year, according to the foreboding description of the novel.

Lexi Brennan’s best friend was killed in a plane crash. Two weeks later, an intergalactic crisis threatened the fate of humanity. Authorities responded by launching a genocide.

Horrified by the events, she sets out to do her part to correct a terrible wrong, even if it means her own destruction and the annihilation of her world and those close to her.

I found the storyline and the characters compelling. While the author’s insight into the future is science fiction, she creates a world that is chillingly believable to her readers.

This is a fast-paced journey with compelling dialog and realistic description. Even if you’ve never read science fiction, Mid-Flight will leave you wanting more. Highly recommended.
