Summary
Summary
Halifax had been in French Africa for five years, doing whatever foolhardy, dangerous thing Serailler ordered him to do. It was some time before he finally snapped, but when he did, he opened the throttle, eased back the stick, and lifted straight and high into a dream.Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“In Blue Light, Watkins has succeeded admirably where most nonflying authors fail. He has completely captured the peculiar rhythms of men who fly…Beau Geste meets Waldo Pepper [set] to a concert of murder, betrayal, extortion, cheap cognac, and psychotic despair in the solitary confinement of the Sahara…Watkins writes beautifully.”
—Los Angeles Times
“Paul Watkins writes adventure of the highest order…Reminiscent of Hemingway, this classic will propel you into a bygone age of true explorers.”
—Guardian (London)
“Watkins writes compellingly…This Ahab dreams in blue, but in his daylight transatlantic flight the issues of good and evil finally determine whether or not he succeeds. Recommended.”
—Library Journal
“Watkins again provides wealths of technicolor immediacy, high vividness, and gripping detail…The look, feel, and surface exotica of half a century ago or more—varnished wooden propellers, frail canvas planes, edge-of-your-seat fights and flights in the air—in a skillful and historically based blood-sweat-and-tears adventure-melodrama.” —Kirkus Reviews
