A curated selection of approved commentary on Billy Paul Smith's novels and storytelling.

Refreshing to read a fast-paced fictional, but very realistic version about how ordinary U.S. citizens react under pressure to become American heroes. This book takes you back to 9/11 but puts a twist on what could have happened. The detail included by the author makes this an enjoyable read and one that has you cheering for the good guys throughout.

This is an up-and-coming writer. He writes full speed ahead. What makes him good is that he does not conform to the traditional style of writing. His first novel, Abuse of Process, is fantastic.

Bravo, Bravo, Bravo. I’ll bet John Grisham is worried. Congratulations on your new novel. I smell a movie out of this one.

The editorial board found Flight 3911 to be a thoroughly immersive and well-written work. We were particularly compelled by its unique alternate-history storyline and remained engaged through every twist and turn.
