"There are many moments of enjoyable prose and descriptions. Sprinkled with humor, the author has real affection for his subject. As a helicopter pilot himself, Darcy Hoover has real-life experiences that give the novel a sense of realism and color." Self-Publishing Review

"Great book, entertaining, fun. I've been a helicopter pilot on the international scene the last 25 years. I feel like I'm right there living all the emotions. If you know someone who dreams of becoming a helo pilot, this book contains more important information than the flight school provides! Don't dare thinking it's too far fetched. Is the helicopter pilot's life a novel? Hell yes!"

"Great book! If you ever wanted to know what it is to be like a world traveling helicopter pilot or aircraft maintenance engineer, this book captures the experience. One of my favourites!"

"I thoroughly enjoyed the debut novel, The Helicopter Pilot, by Darcy Hoover. Set amongst the beauty and strife of Africa, the characters soon discover who they are when their former beliefs are stripped away – leaving them raw to both themselves and their environment. Visiting Africa and walking around in the well-developed character’s shoes, left me to ponder the essential things in life – and to question what is happiness after all. I look forward to reading more from this author."
