Skid is the third book in the “Occupational Hazards” series, and it is equally as funny as the first two. Skid follows the misadventures of Hank Hazard as he takes on the role of “secret flyer” (sorta like secret shopper, only in the air) This book had me laughing out loud. My favorite character was the woman who had a pot-bellied pig as a service animal. The mayhem that her pig caused was hysterical, and the misunderstanding of her disability even better.
I don’t want to give it away, you will just have to read it for yourself!
Book Summary:
Come Fly The Frenzied Skies!
Blissfully unaware that Atlantica Flight 1945 from Atlanta to Amsterdam is about to make aviation history, First Officer Danny McSweeney focuses his energies on navigating the turbulent personalities of an eccentric female captain, a copilot with a talent for tactless comments and conspiracy theories, and a lead flight attendant with an outsized attitude that definitely exceeds the limits for carry-on baggage.
On the other side of the cockpit door, the unscheduled inflight entertainment includes a potbellied pig, a jittery diamond courier, and the recently jilted Lucy Meredith, whose personal mantra of "What Would Oprah Do?" will be challenged by the sudden appearance of her ex and his new traveling partner. On her left sits Hank Hazard, whose unusually polite but constant requests–prompted by his covert role as a spy for the airline–test the limits of the crew’s customer service.
But as Lucy and the crew discover, Hank’s odd behavior is linked to a quiet faith that may play a key role in the fate of everyone on board. Especially when an unexpected traveler sets this already bumpy flight on a course toward the unfriendly skies.
