Furious families of MH370 passengers have slammed a controversial new novel that uses the doomed airliner as a plot line - just three months after the plane vanished on March 8.
Danica Weeks, the wife of missing New Zealander Paul Weeks, told the Sydney Morning Herald she was angered and disgusted by Scott Maka's release of the fictional novella, MH370, so soon after the tragedy before knowing all of the facts.
‘I'd rather they'd put their efforts to helping them find the truth, to be honest," she said. 'We're going to be spending the rest of our lives doing that.'
Maka, who is based in Malaysia, said he never intended for the book's audience to be the relatives of the missing passengers or for them to even find out about it.
He said he wasn't writing the piece for the families and wanted to apologise to Ms Weeks.
‘I'm saddened to hear that she's reacted like that, I'm upset that she's upset,' he said.
Meanwhile, the relatives of the MH370 passengers won't rest until they have answers about what happened to the plane, even announcing a plan to crowd-fund $5M to 'encourage a whistleblower' to come forward to shed some light on what they believe has become a cover up.
