NOW AVAILABLE AS AN AUDIOBOOK
Now available as an audiobook
Author Nick Eades was going nowhere fast when it struck him that after all, he should try to follow in his family’s footsteps and become a pilot. The only problem was that he had no money and had failed his medical tests. Maybe he should go back to selling second-hand cars, or maybe not!

Amazon Reviews
A great sequel to Mr Eades first book, exceptional writing style, sometimes quirky, always factual. Highly recommended to anyone who enjoys travel books written by those who got you there safely.
Rarely does a sequel leap off the pages at me as this one did….yet again its as eloquent a portrayal of the life of a professional airline pilot as you will ever read…..whether you are an aviation nut or not you will struggle to put this book down…, sadness, pride, euphoria, family dramas, and so much more besides…..highly recommended

Couldn’t put it down but didn’t want it to end. Nick has a wonderful way with words and has a talent to keep the reader enlightened and entertained from page one. More, more, more!!
