All of us, be we great or small, man or woman, left-wing or right-wing, religious or godless, have a great abyss in our very beings. This gap can be filled by one thing and one thing only- John Carey's "Raven's Flight". From beginning to end, it brims with intensity and excitement. Vicious battles! Racial intrigue! Women of loose character behaving loosely! Internal conflict of self-doubt and sorrow! Nearly all the way through my mouth was agape, and upon reaching the furor of passion and glory that is to be found on page 120, I cried aloud, "This! This is what we were created for! This is what it means to live!" You must read this book. You must devour it with your eyes and minds, for it is the only sustenance that will ever satisfy the hunger of your soul.
Why don't we teach this book in our schools?

This is one of the greatest books I have ever read. Mr. Carey is right up there as one my favorate authors. Anyone who says they are a fan of the english language is a liar unless they have read this book. From the heart stopping action scenes to the steamy lust filled romance scenes, this book has it all. This book ranks right up there with any Tom Clancy novel. This book takes the raw emotion of a son's love for his father and shows that love can not be tainted by any evil, not even the evil of racism in the government of the greatest country in the world. This book is the winner of several awards, including Book of the Year from T8RO's book club. This book saved my life. As I was walking down the street a rock came out of no where and stuck my on my rear end. If I didn't have this book in my back pocket I could have suffered a cut and bled to death on that side walk that fateful spring day. Thank you Mr. Carey for giving me life. I owe you one, "Little Buddy". You will always have a special place in the very, very bottom of my heart.
Finally, Carey has COME BACK to write this book

Carey, The rock says this: Without a shadow of a doubt, come hell or high water, the rock says this a guarenDAMNtee of a good book. The rock thinks you're real cute by writing such a great book. This book is better than the Rock's Book: The Rock Says. The Rock wants to see more of Michelle
I love this book!

The author of this book, Mr.John Carey, is my high school english teacher. From the beginning, this book gets a hold of you and doesn't let go. There has never been a president assasination story as unique as this.
Easy to get caught up in it and read it in one day!!!!

From the first few pages, the author grabs you and takes you on a thrill ride with his main character, Jack Hurst. Hurst is a ladies man and is tough, rugged and has a job to do: preventing a presidential assassination. How Hurst will do this without revealing his location to his enemies and without being arrested by the local police is the catch. He's wanted by every law enforcement agency and by Sharon, a beautiful policewoman. The suspense scenes are mind-blowing.
