Amazon.com Review Flight 714, Herge's second-to-last completed Tintin story, is a high adventure featuring a gallery of returning characters, though it's a new character, Laszlo Carreidas, "the millionaire who never laughs," who starts the trouble by inviting Tintin and his friends to skip their commercial flight to Sidney to accompany him on his private jet. That leads to a complicated ransom plot, and the action just gets more outlandish from there. Suspend disbelief, though, and Flight 714 is one of Tintin's more thrilling rides. --David Horiuchi
"Tintin and his friends are invited to an international space conference (being the first people on the moon) in Australia. While changing planes in Jakarta, they are offered a ride on the private jet of Laszlo Carreidas who is also headed to Australia. Unfortunately for them, the plane is hijacked and forced to land on an island by some nefarious characters who want to lay their hands on Carreidas' fortune. Once on the island, they encounter some truly strange phenomena. What could be the cause?"
