Nothing grabs me faster than a propulsive premise that also makes you think, and 'Underground Airlines' is exactly that kind of book — so if you want to read it online, there are a bunch of good, legal routes I always turn to. First stop for me is the usual eBook stores:
Amazon Kindle,
google play books, Apple Books,
kobo, and Barnes & Noble all sell digital copies. If you prefer owning the file so you can highlight and jump around, buying from one of those stores is the quickest route. Most of them also offer free samples, so you can read the first few chapters and see whether the tone and pacing hook you before you buy.
If you’d rather borrow, public libraries are a goldmine and often the cheapest way to read contemporary
novels online. Download Libby (OverDrive) or Hoopla,
sign in with your library card, and search for 'Underground Airlines' — availability varies by library, but I’ve had great luck borrowing
ebooks and audiobooks that way. Hoopla sometimes carries simultaneous-access copies, so you don’t get stuck on a waitlist. If your local library doesn’t have it, interlibrary loan or asking the library to purchase a copy can also work surprisingly well. For people who prefer subscription services, Scribd often has modern thrillers and novels in its catalog; a monthly subscription gives you access to lots of titles including audiobooks in many cases.
Speaking of audiobooks, if you like listening,
Audible and
Libro.fm are dependable places to find narrated versions, and Libro.fm is awesome if you want to support independent bookstores. Audible runs promotions and credits, while Libro.fm lets you buy directly through local bookstores. OverDrive (again) also lends audiobooks via Libby. Another tip:
google books often hosts a preview so you can read snippets and judge whether to commit, and Bookshop.org is a fantastic place to buy print copies if you’d rather prop up indie shops — they often have links to digital editions as well.
I’ll be blunt: avoid shady torrent sites or illegal
pdfs. Not only is it risky for your device, but supporting the author and publisher helps ensure more books like this get published. If budget is a concern, keep an eye on sales (Kindle deals and seasonal promos show discounts often), use library loans, or check if an audiobook subscription trial is available. Personally, I love discovering a novel through a library loan
and then buying a copy later if it stuck with me — 'Underground Airlines' is one of those that lingered, so I ended up grabbing the audiobook and revisiting scenes I’d already read. Happy reading, and I hope you find the edition and format that clicks with you — it’s a pretty memorable ride.
