MAMBA
Rating:
4 / 5
Mamba is a haunting thriller. From the time the Black mambas are sold in
Kenya, people start dying. Loaded on a Boeing 747 at San Francisco
International Airport, the snake becomes an instrument of terror. Strange
sounds are investigated before takeoff and again inflight, but there is no
explanation. The onboard computer fails--sabotaged. The only instrument
still operational is the gps, the radios are dead. Captain Steven Armstrong
Custer must steer his ship full of black mamba terrorized people, through
the night, over Canada, without instruments or radios.This story will grip you in its coils, slither through your memory for
months, even make you apprehensive about your next flight. Mamba is the
type
of book from which television movies are made. Whatever you do, don't
investigate that strange sound, just leave-fast--if you can. John Sheridan is an author to watch. The plot of Mamba is so fast paced
and
engrossing, the poor editing served only as speed bumps. Mr. Sheridan is
much better at writing suspense than romance; another indication an editor
may have helped assure this fine novel the five daggers it was destined to
merit. As it is this reviewer awards Mamba four daggers. ...
Excellent Reading

I found this book to be most exciting. It had moments of being a heart thumper. It held my interest throughout the whole novel. I found it hard to put it down.
There was just the right amount of humorous incidents to allow a person a good laugh (descriptions of those scenes were so vivid). The love interest between Ginny & Captain Custer gave the reader a little mystery if this relationship would really develop; answers became pretty clean further on in the book.
The fight scene between Captain Custer & the snake was incredible; it could only happen in the movies. THIS WOULD DEFINITELY MAKE A GOOD MOVIE.....Hope to see this happen.
I would definitely read more books by this author; hope there are more in the works.
Don't put your feet on the floor, there may be a snake there

John Sheridan has crafted this thriller for those who can enjoy being frightened and thrilled at the same time. The African native mamba, is as deadly as any, and more aggressive than most,of the poisonous snakes. Aboard a transatlantic flight Captain Steve Custer is challenged to the max by the reptile, which was placed on the aircraft by terrorists. If you have a fear of snakes, this book will require you to keep the light on and continue reading through the night.
