No One’s Coming

“No One’s Coming takes off and never slows down. An enthralling story of ingenuity, courage, and the sheer grit required to pull off one miracle after another. Inspiring.”–Theresa Brown, nurse and author of The Shift and Healing“A behind-the-scenes account of an astonishing rescue mission. Hazzard tells this story with medical precision and breathtaking drama. In doing so, he may well be foretelling the future.”–John Heminway, documentary filmmaker and author of In Full Flight“Could an airplane evacuate two American medical professionals with Ebola from West Africa without infecting the crew? That’s the dire question at the heart of this gripping real-life thriller from journalist and former paramedic Hazzard (American Sirens). … It’s an absolute nail-biter.”–Publisher’s Weekly (STARRED)“Paramedic-turned-author Kevin Hazzard has crafted a humdinger of a tale about a rag-tag team of pilots on a mission to rescue a couple of Ebola-stricken American doctors in the heart of West Africa. Think the A-Team meets Mission Impossible–yet it’s all real and the stakes couldn’t be higher. No One’s Coming is a helluva great read!”–James M. Scott, Pulitzer Prize finalist and author of Black Snow, Rampage, and Target Tokyo“In this inspiring, cinematic book, a daring American aviation firm rescues seriously ill medical workers in West Africa. The author, a former paramedic, is well matched with the subject. He skillfully builds dramatic tension, though a handful of scenes read like extracts from a punched-up screenplay. … A stirring account of the dauntless ingenuity that saved lives during an infectious disease outbreak.”–Kirkus Reviews“Hippocrates said that the natural forces within us are the true healers of disease. Kevin Hazzard taps into the healing forces of narrative, decency, willpower, and empathy to uncover a great healing story of our times. The great thing about No One’s Coming is that it captures the pulse of the moment and gives us an insight into how–and why–we live. In the face of all the world’s difficulties and failures, the human instinct for goodness shines through. This is a thriller, a love story, and a forensic journalistic feat all wrapped into one.”–Colum McCann, author of Let the Great World Spin and Twist
