by David Alan Arnold

In his second memoir, David Alan Arnold takes us on a Life and Death Adventure, in his helicopter, flying for Ice Road Truckers and Deadliest Catch.But, he also gets into adventures at home, picking a fight with an Organized Crime Ring that took over a school bus stop. David's town has so few residents that good people are afraid to speak about the crime ring, for fear of reprisal. When killers and dirty cops out-number town residents, it's wise to stay out of harm's way. But, David is famous for being "Thick-as-a-Brick". So, here we go, on what David calls an "ill-planned journey"--straight into a fight, that he says, left a trail of body-parts in the woods behind the school bus stop. Hard to believe?--Not according to FBI agents who asked to read advanced copy of this book.Buckle-up for a wild ride in the sky above Monday Night Football, Ice Road Truckers and Deadliest Catch, but also a True Crime Story that brought heroine, racketeering and murder to a school bus stop.

They say the truth is stranger than fiction. What Lies Above the Clouds is a raw, honest account of what it's like to be living a quiet life in a remote area of California; and have it disrupted when a real-life organized crime ring moves into your hometown. When money is the motive, all bets are off. This gripping account had me pausing in parts to pray for the author, his young son and his neighbors. Murder, racketeering, gang activity, narcotics, plenty of end rounds by the authorities and all this going down by a school bus stop serving the small community. I can hardly wait until Book 3 releases.
