Tropic Hustle

A Luke Angel Crime Thriller (Archangel Aviation Thrillers, Book 3)

By: Nate Van Coops

Narrated by: Scott Brick

THERE'S TRUTH IN EVERY LIAR.

Luke Angel loves three things: his easy Florida lifestyle, his dog, and his seaplane business.

But a pilot needs a plane, and when a registration problem tangles up Luke’s antique flying boat, the only fix is to talk to the one man Luke despises most of all. His father. Perennial jailbird Frank Angel has been released from prison. But he’s not alone. Frank’s decades of flying in the drug business made him a lot of money—and plenty of enemies. Now a cadre of dangerous criminals are dogging Frank’s trail, sniffing for a payday.

Frank’s biggest problem? The secret whereabouts of his hidden treasure now rests with the son who hates him. It’s a tangle of dirty money, broken family, and lies.

If Luke wants to live to fly another day, he’ll have to navigate a deadly gauntlet of greed and murder, and decide if he can trust a man he swore he’d never forgive. Take off for another high-flying tropical thrill-ride today.

Really fun listen

Scott brick is an awesome reader, but the book was fun as well and I’m really thankful that it was parts of it were on Kindle unlimited. And I’m really looking forward to another book about Luke Angel.

Another Home Run!

The best yet, just keeps getting better & Better. A trilogy of, what can I say, the best aviation thriller’s ever written. Please, we need more!

Just don't like the foul. languge

Not going to listen to any more of these. Foul language might be realistic, but not necessary.
vulgarity is not my bag...

Great story

I liked all 3 in the series. I can’t wait to hear your next one.

Another fun adventure

I'm enjoying the progression of all the characters. As with many things in aviation, I came for the airplanes and I'm learning to stay for the people.

What's becoming a big highlight for me with these books is the opening story. There's always a fun and realistically grounded flying adventure.

A criticism with the performance is that there is not much distinction between the different character voices. There came a point near the end of the book where I had to stop and replay some of the book and pay close attention to figure out who was talking. This seemed to be more difficult when a female character was talking, and especially when multiple female characters were involved at the same time.

With that minor critique aside, I'm already looking forward to the next one.
