Although Ed Stewart wrote Doomsday Flight almost two decades ago, it smacks of two recent events: the whole madness about Y2K being "the end", and the 9/11 attacks. However, in the mid-nineties, all that was nothing more than a summer blockbuster, so, I can understand why Mr. Stewart wouldn't have believed that his subject material would later become very touchy. As a novel, Doomsday Flight actually wasn't bad; the multiple plot threads do seem a bit discordant at first, but they end up coming together quite well. The writing was good, and the plot did have its pokey moments, but was overall exciting. One complaint I do have is that the novel was rather long; although it didn't drag on for hundreds of pages, it could have used trimming by at least a few chapters. If you like Christian suspense fiction, and the topics mentioned above won't bother you, then Doomsday Flight might be worth a read.

Better than the last one. Again, not a sequel, but more like a series. STewart does have a good way of drawing out the suspense in this book. You knew something was gonna happen, but not specifically what.
