Alaska Justice

Alaska Justice Ha! I have the average reader of Kincaid's Alaska Justice at a disadvantage. You see I know Jack Blake, I know the beautiful Wildlife Officer Jet. I also know the nit picker First Shirts and lunatic killer Jack had to run aground near Kennecott/McCarthy on that cold, snowing winter day and night. You will thoroughly enjoy a captivating non stop adventure! You see, I really do know Mike, or Jack, and expected a very fine story and was not one iota disappointed. Steven A. Knutson Author of It Takes One To Catch One - Confessions of an Alaskan Wildlife Trooper

Great Adventure Story!

Alaska Justice is a great adventure for first time author Michael Kincaid. His experiences as an Alaskan State trooper and bush pilot make the experiences for hero, Jack Blake exciting, funny and sad. The writing is refreshingly creative with twists and turns leaving you wanting more. This is one of those books that you want to read in one sitting and then are sad when it is over.

A wonderful flying adventure

I love a good flying adventure and Kincaid wrote a great story here. You'll hop from one adventure to the next--chase bad guys on snowmobiles through icy crevasses at night, land floatplanes on cold, rough seas, and investigate mysterious airplane wrecks. Throughout the story, Kincaid does a wonderful job at describing Alaska. (I've never been, but based on Kincaid description, it's on my list of future must-see destinations!) I highly recommend it. Be careful, though, it had me turning the pages till 2AM one morning!

A must read

A combination of suspense, dry humor and romance with a touch of Dragnet. One of the things I really appreciated about Alaska Justice was I felt like I got to know Jack's (the main character) personality with the conversations or questions he had with himself. His snide comments about people and their lack of actions for pre flight checks, careless actions while on assignment, etc. were amusing. I laughed, quite a bit actually. Jack is not a fly by the seat of your pants kind of guy (no pun intended as there is a lot of plane/flying in the book), but his love for his job placed him all over Alaska which he adjusted effortlessly. The entire book was extremely descriptive, I could envision a lot of the story. For the most part, I had a little movie playing in my head while reading. The author has several deep thoughts, if you will, which when not reading, I would ponder. Always a good sign, right? Bottom line: a must read.

Alaska Justice

M. D Kincaid has given us an exiting and fast paced novel based on real case histories of the Alaska State Troopers, and the seamless flow of the action is non-stop from cover to cover. Kincaid takes the reader along on a wild ride with his main character, Jack Blake, an experienced Air America pilot turned Alaska State Trooper charged with trying to keep the peace in spite of the on and off duty conditions under which he is required to work and a nit-picking First Sergeant. In the beautiful and remote locations that can only be reached by aircraft or dog-sled, he is the only law officer for hundreds of square miles, and the reader is with Blake as he braves the bad weather, worse flying weather, killer rivers, plane crashes and living quarters not fit for animals. On show shoes, running behind dog sleds, flying a variety of bush planes and float planes when the birds are walking, Jack plies his trade from one end of Alaska to the other, sometimes with the assistance of a Fish and Wildlife trooper, the beautiful and able Jet Torson. From breaking up bar fights in the saloons and handling the trigger-happy drunks in the fishing camps, to tracking psychotic killers alone over the tundra and glaciers of the frozen north reminiscent of Sergeant Preston and Renfru of the Mounties, Trooper Jack Blake never gives up even though he's marked for death by a clandestine organization run by the mysterious F-Rod. His survival is in serious doubt when he is injured in a remote hard to find plane crash, is shot and then kidnapped by the man who wants him dead. Kincaid also takes the reader along in the airplanes in which Blake flies to do his job, and graphically describes the short field landings and sometimes no runway landings on beaches and mountain ridges, scary water takeoffs and landings and the dangers of transporting prisoners in the small aircraft, flights on worn-out old cargo planes and the iffy navigation along with the primitive air traffic control of the time and the place-- only a real pilot who has been there-done that could write it as well. Alaska Justice is a fun, hard-to-lay-it-down read and I recommend it to anyone who is looking for a measure of good, adventurous diversion. Charles L. Lunsford Author of "Departure Message" & "Boxcar Down: The Albanian Incident"
