12. "Air Force One Is Down" by Alistair Maclean

Sun Sep 9, 2018, 01:49 PM

Sep 2018

Stumbled on it recently in Kindle format. Not his best work, but readable, if somewhat disjointed in places and predictable.

Just finished "Ready Player One" by Ernest Cline, and that was one I had a hard time putting down. Just added the movie to the top of my NetFlix queue to see how they managed to adapt part of it.
