About this audiobook
Seventeen days...the average life expectancy of a British aviator during World War I.
Last three weeks and you were practically a veteran.
Paul Hyde dropped out of college to join the Royal Flying Corps, looking for a grand adventure. And grand it was, or so he assured himself when planes were crashing all around him.
Today is his seventeenth day. Will he be able to beat the odds?

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Kept on stopping throughout the reading and I missed a few portions. That being said. The story was amazing and I was on the edge of my seat listening.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The 17th Day is short, only a little over an hour long, but it is packed with plenty of action. The author explains that he always wanted to write a WWI story and finally did. The 17th day is a compelling and gripping story of a fighter pilot's life during that conflict. It reads/listens like other exciting novels and the ending is quite touching.
