Very cool art! I hadn't heard of that book, but will definitely get it. I wonder what it can add to Craig Cabell's two books, which seemed about as thorough as they could be given that some things are still classified. Or is this a novel?
ReplyDeleteRankin's book is an easy read but somewhat lacking specific references. It is more a history of technology espionage in WWII than a history of 30 AU. There are many interesting references to events that may have driven the writing of Fleming's novels and short stories.
