Post by: The Dancing Bear on May 29, 2007, 03:15:20 AM
Has anyone here read any of this writers' stories ? I am just curious .There are aircraft in most of his books. Albiet not always as part of the central plot.

I've read/listened to a few. My father is huge fan so he guilts me into reading some. The series i like to read is done by Dale Brown. Writes a bunch of book about the B1 (my favorite plane) semi futuristic, lots of robots and special laser missiles and stuff.

ABSOLUTELY |:)\
Cussler makes for a good easy to follow read whenever I feel like escaping to a book--I'd give the majority of his books two thumbs up ::bow::

Airtac,any favorites or just like em all ? I liked the earlier ones best I think .
Undac,I have almost every Dale Brown book except his newest one.( Didn't get to buy it yet.) I am an ex BUFF mech. so I am partial to the Mega Fort concept. ( B'cuz the BUFF has the radar signature of a boxcar on a soccer field normally......... but the amount of kick ass it can carry is staggering !!! ) Only a mach can love that ugly airplane .(Sniffle, wipe away tear)
Sometimes all you want in a read is some "brain candy" ya' know . Gotta get to work now.

Can't remember titles but the Viking Sci-Fi one was good and Dirk Pitt/NUMA series have all been fun reads---I think I've read something of his that wasn't fiction too but can't remember what it was about---duh ::loony::

I've read "The Mediterranean Caper", "Iceberg" and "Vixen 03" a while ago. They were quite good as far as I remember, but I personally prefer Tom Clancy.
€dit: The (german) Wikipedia says, that "Black Wind" is taking place from May 22nd, 2007 until July 1st, 2007. It's about japanese biological weapons in Alaska, so better be careful . . .

Aaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
I read some works by the authors mentioned in this thread... I get into some series by each author but not others.
