Before the Fall 20 %

Plane crash.  Private jet is leaving from Martha's Vineyard.  On board is a news executive (based on Fox News) and a high finance type under investigation.  Wives, two children, one painter who is just coming along for the ride. Plane crashes.  Painter (also a swimmer) saves himself and the small boy by an amazing swim in the dark to land. All others die.
Story backs up.  We hear about the beginning of the "Fox News" network.  We learn about the aunt of the little boy who lives . . . and her husband.  They stand to be in charge of millions, if not the owners of millions.  Finally, we are with the swimmer, Scott Burroughs.  He's just shy of 50, has been a profligate for most of his life, has recently found his voice as a painter, and he is now (slowly) coming to be obsessed with the crash and, perhaps, the little boy.

All is perfectly okay, but nothing is -- as of yet -- in any way gripping.

He became one of the most influential and admired British generals after a series of successes in Canada, West Africa, and Egypt, followed by a central role in modernizing the British Army in promoting efficiency. He served in Burma, the  Crimean War , the  Indian Mutiny , China, Canada and widely throughout Africa—including his  Ashanti  campaign (1873–1874) and the  Nile Exp
