KUALA LUMPUR, June 10 ― A fictional e-book on Flight MH370 ― that remains missing three months after vanishing with 239 people on board ― has angered and “disgusted” the wife of a passenger.

Danica Weeks, the wife of New Zealand national Paul Weeks, described the e-book as “hurtful” to the families of those who went missing with the plane, saying that she was “angry” with its release with the tragedy still fresh and with the absence of full information.

“I’d rather they’d put their efforts to helping them find the truth to be honest.

“We’re going to spend the rest of our lives doing that,” she was quoted as saying on Sunday by New Zealand news site stuff.co.nz.

Weeks said those seeking to write and create films on MH370 tragedy should do so only after they had all the facts in hand.

The Malaysia-based author of the e-book titled “MH370”, who wrote using the pen name Scott Maka, said he wants to apologise to Weeks.

“I’m saddened to hear that she’s reacted like that, I’m upset that she’s upset,” the 45-year-old New Zealand national was quoted saying by stuff.co.nz.

Hoping that his book would not upset the MH370 passengers’ families, Maka also said he did not write his thriller novella for them or intend to let them discover it.

Although Maka expressed concern over public reception of the book which was released exactly three months after the flight MH370 vanished without a trace, he said readers not directly affected by the tragedy would likely enjoy his novella.

The decision to write the book was sparked by a “hair-raising” AirAsia flight between Malaysia and Vietnam a week after MH370 disappeared along the “same flight path”, Maka said.

He admitted to be “scared” during that flight, saying that he then thought about how the MH370 mystery could have happened and came up with a scenario by the end of his flight.

The book that was written in two months reportedly focuses on a woman caught up in international intrigue.

Last month, American author Nigel Cawthorne released a book titled “Flight 370: The Mystery” where he shared his theory that the missing plane was accidentally shot down during joint war games between the US and Thailand in the South China Sea.

A film titled “A Dark Reflection” and a trailer for the film “The Vanishing Act” ― both on Flight  MH370 ― was shown at the Cannes Film Festival recently.
