Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent Reading
Review: I found this book to be most exciting. It had moments of being a heart thumper. It held my interest throughout the whole novel. I found it hard to put it down.
There was just the right amount of humorous incidents to allow a person a good laugh (descriptions of those scenes were so vivid). The love interest between Ginny & Captain Custer gave the reader a little mystery if this relationship would really develop; answers became pretty clean further on in the book.
The fight scene between Captain Custer & the snake was incredible; it could only happen in the movies. THIS WOULD DEFINITELY MAKE A GOOD MOVIE.....Hope to see this happen.
I would definitely read more books by this author; hope there are more in the works.

Summary: Don't put your feet on the floor, there may be a snake there
Review: John Sheridan has crafted this thriller for those who can enjoy being frightened and thrilled at the same time. The African native mamba, is as deadly as any, and more aggressive than most,of the poisonous snakes. Aboard a transatlantic flight Captain Steve Custer is challenged to the max by the reptile, which was placed on the aircraft by terrorists. If you have a fear of snakes, this book will require you to keep the light on and continue reading through the night.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Mamba drips venom and suspense
Review: John Sheridan has a winner with this spine-tingling tale of man against beast, in this case a poisonous snake with a bad attitude. Smuggled aboard a London-bound aircraft by terrorists who leave a trail of dead accomplices in their wake, this bad boy gives a whole new perspective on the fear of flying. With nowhere to go but down, the Captain and his crew (or should I say what's left of them) do battle with this cold blooded killer. I enjoyed Sheridan's wit, his attention to detail (the man knows his snakes and aircraft), and the way he developed his characters (the love interest between the Captain and an aging soon-to-retire flight attendant, the sophisticated herpetologist, and the drunken Senator) all of whom made this harrowing flight grippingly realistic. If you like on-the-edge-of-your-seat excitement, MAMBA is for you.

Summary: MAMBA
Review: Mamba is a haunting thriller. From the time the Black mambas are sold in
Kenya, people start dying. Loaded on a Boeing 747 at San Francisco
International Airport, the snake becomes an instrument of terror. Strange
sounds are investigated before takeoff and again inflight, but there is no
explanation. The onboard computer fails--sabotaged. The only instrument
still operational is the gps, the radios are dead. Captain Steven Armstrong
Custer must steer his ship full of black mamba terrorized people, through
the night, over Canada, without instruments or radios.

This story will grip you in its coils, slither through your memory for
months, even make you apprehensive about your next flight. Mamba is the
type
of book from which television movies are made. Whatever you do, don't
investigate that strange sound, just leave-fast--if you can.

John Sheridan is an author to watch. The plot of Mamba is so fast paced
and
engrossing, the poor editing served only as speed bumps. Mr. Sheridan is
much better at writing suspense than romance; another indication an editor
may have helped assure this fine novel the five daggers it was destined to
merit. As it is this reviewer awards Mamba four daggers.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Mamba
Review: Mamba, a suspense/thriller is not for the faint of heart. When a terrorist group unleashes a deadly black mamba on an unsuspecting 747 jetliner after disabling its communication system, all hell breaksloose. As casualties mount,Captain Steve Custer is faced with the herculean task of saving his crew, his passengers and his very new love. Sheridan has created a frightening but believable story that blends terror with a touch of romance. Mamba is well worth reading.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Should be made into a movie.
Review: This book by John Sheridan places terrorism in a whole different category as we know it. Mamba had me sitting at the edge of my seat through the entire airline flight and beyond. A page turner you won't put down. If you're looking for a book filled with incredible suspense, drama and a touch of romance ... THIS IS THE BOOK FOR YOU! The creative flare of this author evokes a roller coaster of emotions out of his readers. This mind boggling thriller should be formatted to the big screen.
