Terminal Departure A Cleo Matts Novel edition by Joe Crubaugh Literature Fiction eBooks

This starts off as a science-fiction satire that reminds me of the old '60s TV series, "Get Smart" starring Don Adams. It's a hilarious story with funny characters and plots which include aliens. Aboard the commercial 737 aircraft is a famous female actress, a notable scientist, CIA assassins, and funny agent-incognito, Cleo Matts. There are lots of weird events while the airline is in the air, mostly unbelievable. But, later in the novel, it becomes more of a realistic CIA hunt for witnesses who have strangely avoided death aboard the crashed airline. It is a suspenseful story, one which I found I could not put down. So, if you are considering this action-packed novel, go ahead, board the plane and enjoy the read! You'll be laughing out loud at what comes out of the mouth of infamous agent Cleo Matts.

Terminal Departure A Cleo Matts Novel edition by Joe Crubaugh Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews

Cleo's job was to protect the man in the seat in front of him. Simple enough. All he had to do was foil the attempt of the CIA to blow up the plane. Which turns out to be anything but simple. Aliens, CIA cleaners and assassins, and one of the most famous actresses in the nation seem to be conspiring to make his covert operation as complicated as possible.
Government conspiracy at its best, Joe Crubaugh creates an all too possible world in Terminal Departure. A world where some of the most powerful governments on the planet are controlled by a secret international association made up of the world's elite. On top of that, alien watchers really do abduct people and the deaths of a couple of hundred innocent people are justified by the need to control the populace. With keep you on the edge of your seat action, this book will have even the most unbelieving readers turning the pages to see what happens next.
Written with the spirit of Christopher Buckley over his shoulder, Joe Crubaugh knows how to spin a tale of political satire. The main characters are quirky but entertaining. The secondary characters are sometimes frightening but definitely interesting. All in all, this was a great read. I thank the author for providing me with a review copy and I give the book five stars.
Cleo and Julia spend the novel together and they make fun company. They are caught between CIA goons and the alien Watchers while contending with a bio-weapon that could destroy humanity. Along the way is choice info-geekery and a backstory that would give any conspiracy theorist wood. Cleo Matts makes an effective hero and you like to see him in action. Mixing conspiracy thriller with aliens takes a lot to pull off. With this much material it doesn't take a CIA-abducted psychic to see more Cleo Matts novels coming.
Terminal Departure is a conspiracy-thriller with a sense of humor. Reading it reminds me of Orson Scott Card's Empire mixed with Men in Black. The lead character, Cleo Matts, works for a government agency so secret that secret agencies don't know about it. Which is important since most of the planet has been duped by aliens.

The dialogue includes gems like this (between Matts and the starlet sitting beside him on a plane he's trying to keep from blowing up)

"That's the dumbest thing I've ever hear." She close her magazine and slid it into the pocket ahead of her. "Joking aside, what do you really do?"

"When I'm not mushing?"

"Yes," she smiled, wearily. "When you're not...mushing."

"I'm a shepherd," he said. "And, sometimes, I'm a topless waitress."

She glanced lower. "You don't have the chest for it."

"I only moonlight as a topless waitress."

"Lots of tips?"

"You'd be surprised," he said.

It made me laugh. Humor is hard to come by, especially in any sort of book other than one that is only funny when it isn't supposed to be. Now, I will provide one warning. The president of the United States is depicted as seeking solace in the shower via a little one-hand mambo. So if that goes too far off the cheeky end for you, consider yourself warned. Read it! Review it! Share it!
This book takes you on a wild 737 roller-coaster ride with the CIA, aliens, a movie star and a secret agent named Cleo Matts who works for a deep cover agency embedded within the CIA. Get ready for interplanetary action and lots of hilarious interdisplinary dialogue. I was reminded at times of the classic Hitchhiker's Ride to the Galaxy while reading Terminal Departure, with smaller doses of Get Smart. Cleo Matts is an eminently likable and capable spy, but can one man save the world? I liked this book and look forward to seeing what crazy scheme Cleo will have to unravel next.
