"Nick Kourafas paced nervously inside Heathrow’s Europa Terminal building. In the old days he simply knew it as The London Airport. The lyrics of 'All You Need is Love,' the product of Beatles mania, which infected British society, assaulted his brain with its repetitious refrain. He heard it everywhere. As a nineteen year old, when he was in Army basic training twenty-five years ago, the song of the day was “Moonlight Serenade.” That was real music. Now the Beatles song, with its pounding catchphrase became an earwig that gnawed at him. It ran counter to what he was about to do."

"I was fascinated to find this novel as it is set around the real loss of an airliner which I have written about also (my book is non-fiction). The author has done his research as many of the details have only previously been buried in the official archives, so I congratulate him on his efforts.
"The political intrigue which surrounds the loss of Flight 284 is very real and there has been much speculation and some controversy over the various theories, which range from suicide for insurance purposes to assassination by high level politicians or the secret services. These are all issues people have raised in my own research. My own book, ‘Bealine Charlie Oscar: The Mystery of Flight 284’ covers all these, as objectively as possible. Chris Malinger’s novel does allow the luxury of artistic license, to make the story flow, which it does very well. His take on the events would make a much better film than mine, and I wholeheartedly recommend it."

"Scrubbed is quite the adventure! I thoroughly enjoyed the novel, especially the structure and flow of the story as well as the overall voice and pacing. The writing stance is clear and intriguing and effortlessly weaves the dystopian near-future into the narrative without being on the nose about the differences from the present. All of the "time jumps" so to speak (like merging countries, govt policies, and technologies) felt grounded and real, which I found masterful. As a fan of this genre, I think this is a wonderful entry. When asked about it, I keep likening it to "1984" meets 'Brave New World' with a streamlined, modern flair and an epic set of twists."
