TROPIC ENVY

A Luke Angel Mystery

By: NATE VAN COOPS

Narrated by: Scott Brick

FAME COULD BE THE DEATH OF HIM

For pilot and mechanic Luke Angel, the local airport is his home. But a community of attention seekers, hotheads, and daredevils isn’t a quiet place to do business. After a selfless act of heroism is caught on camera, Luke is thrust into an unwanted spotlight, and he’s getting to know more of his neighbors than he’d bargained for; including the bombshell influencer, the disgruntled instructor, and a snarky corporate charter captain.

When a surprising death rocks the community, Luke is left picking up the pieces—and some of them don’t fit.

Even the blistering Florida sun can’t illuminate all the secrets hidden on this airfield, especially when at least one person will resort to murder to keep it that way. Digging into the trouble has Luke’s reputation going down in flames, and if he doesn’t get to the bottom of the mystery fast, he may be his airport’s next departure.

Strap in and hold on, because the twists in this aerobatic mystery will leave you breathless.

great plane action!

like the stories love the planes even those parts exaggerated to almost ok maybe really ridiculous but fun
Story is frequently disjointed because the wrong or over emphasized words or sentences by narrator. Almost anything about a seaplane is a great read.

Love the flying, enjoy the story.

Eventually we all close our logbook for the last time. At 83 I am so happy to feel the runway beneath the wheels and the rush when the wings lift me free of my earthbound existence.

Another great ride in the air!

Love this story. Set mostly at the airport, it was a great look into Luke Angel’s local scene. Hoping the series continues for many more books !!

Sun, Danger, and Pure Adventure

A vibrant, high‑energy escape that grabs you from page one, Tropic Envy is pure adventure, sun‑soaked, clever, and bursting with momentum. Nate Van Coops builds a world so vivid you can feel the heat and taste the salt in the air, all while delivering characters who are messy, loyal, and impossible not to root for. The twists land, the pacing never lets up, and the emotional beats give the story real depth.
A smart, fun, wildly immersive listen, with superb narration by Scott Brick.
Five stars without hesitation!

Knowing your emergency procedures for Hypoxia.

Lots of action. Having to think and look ahead. Also, the importance of real friends.
