"Danger Within has established Mark Danielson as a premiere force inthe thriller genre." - John Hamilton Lewis (Basha)

"Riveting, fast-paced action." - Richard Sand (Private Justice)

"Danger Within is a fast-paced, good read.  Improbable, even unimaginable at one time, but not in an airline world where everything has changed, post 9/11.  Danger Within will hold your attention." 

- Air Cargo News

"Danger Within is a fun, easy read by a FedEx pilot who knows the airline industry, can write a fast-paced tale of intrigue and mystery, and who keeps his reader turning pages in a furious effort to find out what happens next." 

- Pacific Flyer

"Danger Within" is a well-written suspense/mystery you won't want to put down...I highly recommend this tale to anyone who enjoys a good story!

"We don't usually review fiction works in Airways, but here are two recent exceptions, both novels written  by an airline pilot with extensive navy fighter training - and experience as a flight accident investigator.  The first, The Innocent Never Knew, just published, concerns the crash of a flight carrying a U.S. Senator and the mystery surrounding that  event and the seeming disappearance of one the onboard staff.  Danger Within, published two years ago, revolves around a cargo DC-10 fire and crash landing where the crew survives but, again, there are mysterious things afoot.

What makes these especially interesting and even useful to Airways readers is the author's flight background and knowledge.  He knows his way around a cockpit and understands both the lingo and concerns of flight crew.  His background in accident investigation adds further to the sense of reality in both of these stories.  That said, remember that these books are novels, and have a story to tell.  Thus both are very much about characters, motives, and events, in which airliners and aviaiton play central roles.  I won't go into their plots here - that could spoil your own reading.  But rest assured that if aviation (and especially airline-based) fiction appeals to you, these should really do the trick."
