Classic page-turner inspired by actual events

The Golden Hour is a suspense-filled adventure with a serious theme. It puts the reader in the pilot's seat of an EMS helicopter flying life-saving missions and risking death at every turn. The Golden Hour is a novel based on fact; the first book written by a helicopter air-ambulance pilot and journalist on the subject of helicopter EMS. Author Randy Mains wrote The Golden Hour to act as a bellwether to say if the current practices and attitudes were allowed to continue more people would die, a warning that has sadly come prophetic. It is now one of the most dangerous jobs in America.
