Editorial Reviews

"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

****

An adventure packed novel that feels intensely personal, enthralling is the word that readily springs to mind when describing The Helicopter Pilot. Combining the requisite elements of the genre, but refreshingly light on tropes Hoover's debut novel is full of powerfully emotive images and the reward for his readers is a read that feels wholly authentic to its time and place. Quickly gathering momentum it's a must-read for anyone who's dreamed of taking to the skies in a helicopter with Hoover drawing on the breadth of his own experiences to capture the thrill of rotary flight but the intrigue doesn't stop there. The Helicopter Pilot isn't a novel where the contrived metaphor and struggling simile come first. Far too many adventure novels aim for a wide world lense and in doing so prove oddly un-gripping, colourless and unfocused but it's focus, that makes for genuine page-turners and Hoover knows this. Clearly evident in well-nuanced dialogue and social commentary and thereby not only entertaining but enlightening, a feat to which many authors might aspire and few notably achieve.
 A strong and highly entertaining debut from an author you must read The Helicopter Pilot not only makes recommended reading but bodes well for future releases from Hoover who is sure to build an enthusiastic following. - Book Viral

An adventure packed novel that feels intensely personal, enthralling is the word that readily springs to mind when describing The Helicopter Pilot. Combining the requisite elements of the genre, but refreshingly light on tropes Hoover’s debut novel is full of powerfully emotive images and the reward for his readers is a read that feels wholly authentic to its time and place. Quickly gathering momentum it’s a must-read for anyone who’s dreamed of taking to the skies in a helicopter with Hoover drawing on the breadth of his own experiences to capture the thrill of rotary flight but the intrigue doesn’t stop there. The Helicopter Pilot isn’t a novel where the contrived metaphor and struggling simile come first. Far too many adventure novels aim for a wide world lense and in doing so prove oddly un-gripping, colourless and unfocused but it’s focus, that makes for genuine page-turners and Hoover knows this. Clearly evident in well-nuanced dialogue and social commentary and thereby not only entertaining but enlightening, a feat to which many authors might aspire and few notably achieve.

A strong and highly entertaining debut from an author you must read The Helicopter Pilot not only makes recommended reading but bodes well for future releases from Hoover who is sure to build an enthusiastic following.

In Stores....

My favourite fishing spot (after a 45 minute drive in deep snow on abandoned logging roads plus a half hour hike) was still frozen, so I sat in the sun and worked on novel number two.....

My dear Mom, and publicist, was able to get my novel into the Chapters/Indigo system and should be in some stores in short order....

"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."
