Product Description

Product Description

"Flashback is a great return to the Saskia Brandt universe." -- Aliya Whiteley, author of Light Reading.


In 1947 a Santiago-bound plane crashes into the Andes minutes after confirming its landing time.

In 2003 a passenger plane nosedives into the Bavarian National Forest during a routine flight.

Although separated by more than 50 years, these tragedies are linked by seven letters:

S, T, E, N, D, E, C.

On board Flight DFU323 in 2003 is Saskia Brandt - a woman who holds the answers to the many puzzles of the two flights and who knows she must survive in order to prevent a catastrophic chain of events stretching well into the future.

But Saskia is not the only one to know this. She is being followed and her life is in danger - inside and outside of the plane.

Filled with twists and turns as it trips skilfully through time, Flashback is a gripping technothriller that reaches more than fifty years into our past - and one hundred years into our future - to solve the enigmas of the doomed Star Dust and Flight DFU323.

But is it enough to solve the enigma that is Saskia Brandt?

This review is from: Flashback (The Saskia Brandt Series Book Two) (Kindle Edition)
I am a big fan of the first Saskia Brandt novel. As a sequel, or more correctly, the next episode in a series (please) this one rocked.

Great characterisation. Nice twisty plot, I love flashbacks. Loads more backstory which fleshed out the characters nicely.

Well worth waiting for. Another reason to wait for 2012, the next book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Accomplished novel, 6 Jun 2011
This review is from: Flashback (The Saskia Brandt Series Book Two) (Kindle Edition)
Disclaimer: I read and enjoyed Deja Vu.

Therefore, I was biased towards expecting Flashback to be good. And thank goodness, it was! In my opinion, a much more accomplished novel than the début, but retaining all the style and trickery that made his first book so interesting. The plot involves time-travel again, so you're going to need to pay attention. In my opinion, these situations benefit from reading through the whole novel swiftly so that you - literally - don't lose the plot. That's no problem with Flashback as the pacing is just right and keeps you moving on, to the eventual (surprising) conclusion. The relationships between the characters is more mature too, which means that the reader is not just relying on the 'techno' aspect of the novel to keep their interest. My only criticisms might be that occasionally Hocking seems to become overly wordy, although that may reflect my own meagre vocabulary, and I thought that the climax of the novel was oddly-placed, a couple of chapters from the end. Minor complaints though - this novel is well worth a read, and at Kindle prices, great value.

5.0 out of 5 stars complex, pacey thriller, 13 Jan 2012

This review is from: Flashback (The Saskia Brandt Series Book Two) (Kindle Edition)
An excellent follow up to the first Saskia Brandt volume in which the implications of operating in a closed loop time travelling universe are explored in great depth. Fast complex action spanning two continents and two times streams mixed with nuanced human interaction and staccato explosions of violence keep the reader on the ball whilst turning pages. Finished this one in a single night after reading the first volume the day before. I shall definitely be looking out for more work by Hocking. Excellent stuff and very highly recommended.
