![]() ![]() Don't know why I'm so hung up on this but I am.go figure! The book needed a follow up book, however as it was written at the end of L'Amours life, that wasn't to happen. ![]() ![]() I liked the novel when I first read it, enjoyed it again a couple of decades later and once again it thrilled me listening to the Audible offering. One of the bad guys wants to interrogate the Major about his plane and plans on torture to achieve his end.then the major escapes and an exciting, year long chase thru the Siberian wilderness begins. The protagonist is a 'half-breed- Air Force Major whose super secret spy -plane has been shot down over the USSR. Written during the end of the cold war era, the novel is full of typical us vs them dialog-younger readers may have a difficult time getting over the lack of tech and the dated verbiage but hold on there.the book becomes quite exciting and has a tense thrilling end. I really couldn't believe that the proof was touting a 'Amour book.after all, 'oaters 'aren't exactly literature.but this isn't a typical 'oater' at all. I never read the 'western' genre but first ran into this novel in the late 1980s, when I was taking a Modern American Literature class and this was an option. ![]()
