Books with author Kevin Sullivan

A gripping account of how a major air disaster was averted, by the captain and former Top Gun pilot Instinctively, I release my pressure on the sidestick. Out of my subconscious, a survival technique from a previous life emerges: Neutralise! I'm not in control so I must neutralise controls. I never imagined I'd use this part of my military experience in a commercial airliner ...On routine flight QF72 from Singapore to Perth on 7 October 2008, the primary flight computers went rogue, causing the plane to pitch down, nose first, towards the Indian Ocean - twice.The Airbus A330 carrying 315 passengers and crew was out of control, with violent negative G forces propelling anyone and anything untethered through the cabin roof.It took the skill and discipline of veteran US Navy Top Gun Kevin Sullivan, captain of the ill-fated flight, to wrestle the plane back under control and perform a high-stakes emergency landing at a RAAF base on the WA coast 1200 kilometres north of Perth.In No Man's Land, the captain of the flight tells the full story for the first time. It's a gripping, blow-by-blow account of how, along with his co-pilots, Sullivan relied on his elite military training to land the gravely malfunctioning plane and narrowly avert what could have been a horrific air disaster.As automation becomes the way of the future, and in the aftermath of Ethiopian Airlines flight 302 and Lion Air flight JT610, the story of QF72 raises important questions about how much control we relinquish to computers and whether more checks and balances are needed.

"We never lock our doors." This is an often-heard remark expressing a commonplace American attitude or belief that, despite whatever danger might prevail in public spaces, life inside our own homes remains (or at least should remain) safe, carefree, normal. This book covers 13 high-profile cases in which evil paid an untimely visit and found the entrance open--when everything was normal, until it wasn't.

It's the early 1940s, and the war in Europe is winding down. Anne Shirley - now a successful, middle-aged writer - has returned to Prince Edward Island for an extended visit. On a whim, she's agreed to write a play for the theatre producer and friend Gene Armstrong; a play that will be performed as part of the White Sand Hotel's summer stock season. But Anne is forced to admit that the play is nothing more than a distraction – away to take her mind off troublesome recent events in her life. Her only son Dominic has yet to return from the war. The play, the reasons, will keep her busy – at least busy enough to not go out of her wind with worries. But a long-hidden secret discovered under the floorboards at Green Gables provides a destruction of its own. As Anne struggles to complete the play she promised to Gene, she delves in long-buried memories, reviling the troubles years before she arrived as an orphan at the Cuthberts’ farmhouse. Over the course of one remarkable summer, Anne Shirley discovers the truth about her parents, the origins for her quest for “kindred spirits,” and the roots of her brilliant, magical imagination. In celebration of the centennial of the publication of L. M. Montgomery’s original novel, and inspired by Montgomery’s own creation of Anne, three-time Emmy award winner and filmmaker Kevin Sullivan gives fans a rare treat: a moving and complex glimpse into circumstances that created one of the most beloved fictional characters of our time.
