Review by Best-selling Author John J. Nance

Flying Through Midnight is Pulitzer material. This is Literature. There is genius at work here. This is the prequel to Cold Mountain, with airplanes…a 1970 time capsule. These never-been-told stories perfectly capture the insanity of war. This timeless loss-of-innocence saga is psychologically rich about people thrown into the chaos of war, their descent into the hell of battle, and their attempts to survive. The author gives us an armchair view of war from an armchair that could be blown up any second. Halliday grabs the reader by the throat on page one and never lets go.

"Flying Through Midnight is world-class…a masterpiece…right up there with The Da Vinci Code…The flying sequences are galvanizing...This is exactly what the marketplace is looking for...There hasn't been anything this good since Catch 22…This is the crucible of human warfare…As humane a story as can be told…And what characters! Naming one antagonist Colonel Desktop is a stroke of genius that instantly conveys everything about the character...Halliday takes the reader exciting places they've never been, and that's what makes a bestseller…Destined to earn several major awards, this Hollywood blockbuster written all over it…with the right screenwriter, the book could go into orbit.

"Flying Through Midnight should be required reading by every citizen to understand when we go to war, these things happen. But it's essential to emphasize this is not about Vietnam. Instead; this transcends any war as the 'Eternal Battle' that could as well have been set in the Crusades, and stands up against any book from the Civil War on."
