Review: Accidental Heroes

Accidental Heroes by Danielle Steel
My rating: 4 of 5 stars


On a beautiful May morning at New York’s JFK Airport, a routine plane departs for San Francisco. Security agent Bernice Adams finds a postcard of the Golden Gate Bridge bearing an ambiguous message. Who left the postcard behind, which flight is that person on, and what exactly does the message mean? Her supervisor dismisses her concerns but she is compelled to contact Homeland Security.

As the flight takes off each of the passengers is looking forward to reaching San Francisco, whether it’s for a family reunion, a wedding, or a new way of life. But as it emerges, there’s someone on the flight planning something terrible and these strangers’ lives entwine as they come together to help to avert a tragedy at the eleventh hour.

Danielle Steel combines intense action with stories of emotionally rich, intertwined lives. As the plane bears down on its destination of San Francisco, the futures of these strangers will be changed forever by a handful of accidental heroes.
 
Accidental Heroes is a heart-stopping thriller about ordinary men and women who embark on a journey they will never forget. 



I think of Danielle Steel as being a prolific rather than a great writer. Having said that she can definitely spin a good yarn and this story was no exception. I enjoyed reading it and it was quite thrilling although a few twists would have made it better. It was also quite short at just under 300 pages.
