Why read it?
1 author picked Night over Water as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I found this story absolutely gripping and gathering suspense as it went along. I became deeply involved with all the passengers on the Flying Clipper, especially as I learned there were surprises and mysteries surrounding them.
I liked the vivid descriptions of the “flying ship” and how she behaved in a storm. I have reread this book twice since owning it.
From Elizabeth's list on stories of flight by aircraft and spaceships.
