Synopsis (PBS): The Ransom of Black Stealth One is about a breakthrough in stealth technology: an ultralight, ultrasleek plane that is not only invisible to radar, but can vanish without a trace through the use of computer-controlled technology. When a renegade engineer steals a plane, and takes the niece of a CIA chief hostage, the intelligence community mobilizes all its resources in a desperate race to keep Black Stealth One out of the hands of foreign agents.
Review: Well, I didn't see the big twist at the end. And I did like the main characters, Petra and Kyle. But some of this story left me feeling like I was reading a story about how not to write about (or treat) women. I suppose the target audience might find the scene about a grown woman getting spanked for misbehavior amusing, but I really didn't. Either way, it was a quick enough read and kept me interested.
