Death Weight

Brian Lecomber is a veteran pilot and he writes about the thing he knows the best about flying. Dead Weight is a novel about pilot Scott’s life. I found that novel Death Weight is completely different form usual crime or thriller stories. The writer really knows how it is to be in the air and fly with fears about your life. Not many people nowadays really know what means to control an airplane and trough what kind of emotions pilot is going. This book gives a real chance to outlive and feel great gamma of emotions. Lomber describes all events in very accessible type form. It is quite easy to imagine my self in Scott’s place while flying in the dark sky feeling the perspiration of fears the humming of airplanes engines and the deathly cold hands on airplanes handlebar.

In the beginning of novel Scott is a young immature person who has got only his pilot license and incomplete dream about his own flying club. In my view we can describe Scott as a kind hearted and sensitive person who wants to rise in his life and provide his family as good as possible. Scott’s dream and his love with her unborn child forces him into doing a crime which unfortunately comes to grief and destroys his future plans. Scott loses his love and child. Future story goes about Scott’s life after prison and what consequences cause destroyed reputation. We face the truth that nobody can escape from his past.
