Lost In The Sky

Larry Evans stared wide-eyed at the GPS display. It couldn't be true. He had to be seeing things. But there it was in bright colors on his laptop screen. About an hour ago he had boarded a routine flight from Los Angeles to Denver. Just for fun he had consulted his GPS to calculate what time they would arrive. The position shown on the GPS shouted an ominous warning. Not only was the plane off course, but they were flying the wrong direction. They should be nearing Denver ready to land. Instead, they were 1000 miles West of Los Angeles heading for an unknown destination, somewhere over the Pacific Ocean. Something deep in Larry's gut tightened like a guitar string, and only he knew the truth. If they stayed on this path, it wouldn't be long before the plane ran out of fuel, and crashed into the sea. The passengers on this plane had one chance. It was up to Larry to get into the cockpit and turn them around or die trying.

If a book could be said to be a "page-turner," then Lost in the Sky needs must be so labeled. What is most disturbing is that the chain of events is so plausible they could easily be the lead story in the MSM a few years down the road.

5I know its my brother but it's very good  Nov 03, 2009
I read the book cover to cover and could not put it down. I was a pilot in the 90's and really got a kick out of the aviation parts of the book. I know Doug has sat thru many a meeting developing software and has encountered the crazy decisions that end up putting lives in danger from those that want to "test in the field". Doug knows his subject and has problably fantasized about putting some of the product development people on this plane and let them run out of fuel over the ocean! LOL
I didn't know my brother could write this "good". (We had the same english teacher)
Awesome book!

5Mayday!!!!  Oct 16, 2009
Capt. Sully Sullenberger met ex-computer hacker Kevit Mitnick. A thrilling airplane ride gone wrong mixed with software hacking, murders, terrorism. It will keep you at the edge of your seat as Larry Evans emergency ditched his airplane, made mayday calls, communicate with airfields and air traffic control and watch his altitude descent. Lost in the Sky is a fast pace mystery with lots of intense actions and adventures behind the cockpit. Cold Eyes

I read lots of books so I felt I was a good critic for my brothers book. I loved it from the first chapter. It was suspenseful and kept my attention. He was detailed oriented and obviously well educated in airplanes! A very good read!!!

4A Good Read  Apr 04, 2009
"Lost in the Sky" kept my attention, made me want to read more. It piqued my curiosity. I give Doug an A for the technical details. He knew what was going on and knew what he was writing about. And he speaks the truth, I think, about the industry.
It's a good book, I'd recommend it.
