Strap in for a "thrill ride"! - Book Review - Skyjack was a great follow-up to KJ Howe's first book, The Freedom Broker. Skyjack started off exciting, and it never ended throughout the entire book. Although reading the first book of the series is not necessary, I would recommend it as it provides some back story that will help with some details in Skyjack that will make a little more sense. However, if you choose to simply dive into Skyjack without reading The Freedom Broker, you are still in for a ‘thrilling’ ride. The book kicks off with a scene that could give anyone with a fear of flying mild anxiety, but it starts with a pulse pounding scene that also introduces you to Thea Paris, a powerful woman with amazing courage. KJ Howe also wastes no time in diving into some of the details revealed in the first novel of the series, like that Thea Paris is diabetic (hence, the zero-sugar drink pictured with this review). The book never slows down, and I think Thea Paris is one of the strongest female protagonists in the thriller genre. She and the Quantum team of Kidnap & Ransom specialists are what blockbuster action movie material are made of! This book has it all – a “Broken Arrow” (a military term for an accident involving nuclear weapons), skyjacking (of course), mobsters, kidnapping, terrorist plots, boat chases, and numerous intense shoot outs. At times it seems like a little too much, but overall, it was a fast paced, enjoyable, and suspenseful thriller. I especially appreciate the tremendous amount of research by Howe. It shows in the storyline how details and accuracy make the story. Howe takes the reader to numerous locations and the descriptions were so rich and vivid I truly felt like I was there. This book is a must read for anyone who is a fan of the thriller genre, or just likes an exciting book in general. I cannot recommend it enough. Review: Kidnapping at 30,000 feet. - I was a big fan of the first Thea Paris story, The Freedom Broker, and was glad she was going to be in another book. Skyjack puts her in quite a different situation than The Freedom Broker, one that is suddenly sprung on her while she's right in the middle of it. While Thea is still the protagonist, there's more focus on other characters this time. It's necessary to see the entire plot, which is rather complex and twisted. I thought it was perhaps a little bit too twisty. A couple of twists near the end of the story felt like they were thrown in for the sake of having a twist. There's plenty of action throughout the story. Some events feel like a big-budget action movie. The action moves at a fast pace. The new characters are interesting and feel lifelike, which is one of Howe's biggest strengths. I particularly liked one of the main villains. He's certainly not a good man, but he's not a complete monster and does have standards. He feels like a real person. Howe puts a lot of research into her writing and it shows. The returning characters are still good, although aside from Thea and Rif, they didn't seem to get as much focus this time. I must admit I didn't like this one quite as much as The Freedom Broker, but it is still a very good book. It's not necessary to read The Freedom Broker to understand the plot of Skyjack, but it will help explain certain things, and this book does necessarily spoil a few events of the first book, so I would recommend reading it first. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,421,030 in Kindle Store ( See Top 100 in Kindle Store ) #6,068 in International Mystery & Crime (Kindle Store) #28,084 in Women Sleuths (Books) #28,935 in Women Sleuths (Kindle Store) | ## Images ![Skyjack: A Kidnap-and-Ransom Thriller - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81B8PHAp46L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ...great follow-up to Howe's first book.

Is that the co-pilot banging on the cockpit door, locked out by the pilot? Then you feel your internal organs left behind as that rogue pilot wrenches the 737 into a barrel roll like it’s a tiny aerobatic plane. One wing points straight up. Tortured metal shrieks. Carry-ons and lunch trays and children go flying through the cabin. Somebody’s lasagna splats against your forehead. You’re properly terrified of whatever’s next… Lucky for you that Thea Paris, billionaire’s daughter turned kidnap-foiling security pro, happens to be on board. But your life will get progressively more hazardous as she works her vast skill set against overwhelming odds. Skyjack, the second Thea Paris thriller following her debut in The Freedom Broker, weaves three suspenseful storylines that keep your teeth grinding to the gratifying finale. Author M.J. Howe keeps it real with authentic aeronautic and law-enforcement details, salting the narrative with real-world nuggets from security pros. You’ll learn why U.S. Secret Service agents always pick up cups and tissues used by the President and how a secret paramilitary organization known as “Operation Gladio” still exists in European nations. You can also expect engaging, witty dialogue with some stinging one-liners. And some uncommon character features such as Thea’s need to manage her diabetes while trying to save a plane load of hostages. So if you want to discover a smart, worldly heroine who knows how to jam a loaded Glock pointed at her while breaking the owner’s nose and then explode an incendiary device she keeps in her Travel Pack, trust Thea Paris to both perform as agreed and surprise you. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/197348291-skyjack-a-kidnap-and-ransom-thriller](https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/197348291-skyjack-a-kidnap-and-ransom-thriller) --- *Product available on Desertcart Thailand* *Store origin: TH* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
