Peter Lance has it right on TWA Flight 800, IMO.
To: beyond the sea
Lance says shoe-bomb or seat bomb....but the book is nearly incoherent to the reader not already familiar with what happened.

The funniest author in America today. "The Gold Coast" is my favorite book of alltime.

I want to know more about this. I have some kind of fear of flying which started with this one. It blew out of proportions with Sept 11 and the little known plane crash in NY just a few days after that.

Nelson is one HELLUVA a writer. His novels have caused me many bad days at work from reading until 3 AM!

I haven't read the book. I heard him for three hours on 'Coast to Coast A.M.'. He seems very correct! Shoe bomb it was. I was always a missle launch believer, but he seems to prove otherwise!
It was definately terrorism, Islamic terrorism, and Clinton got a pass. But Clinton was allowed to get a pass by others in "the government", so he's not alone.

I read one of his books just after 9/11. Actually has started it just before. It was almost too much to take in context with reality.

this is the first book I read by De Mille...

In it, the passengers fight back. I was impressed, because in those days passengers and people kidnapped were told by experts to never, never fight back, because "negotiators" would get them free....

To me he is the Mark Steyn of fiction! I was depressed after I finished The Gold Coast...not because of the content but because I finished the book. He is, hand down, my favorite author!

This guy is a great writer. His climaxes are always a tad disappointing, but what the heck. His male characters especially are engaging, witty, and the plots usually gripping.

Flt 800 exploded over the Atlantic Ocean, no where near the Long Island Sound.
And, I do know eyewitnesses (two) who saw the upward streaking trail. They are sober, mature non-political people who know exactly what they saw.

I love his combination of knowledge of the events he bases his novels on, humor, ability to extend stuff to logical conclusions, and his memorable characters.
My favorite...PLUM ISLAND. This one, really getting into flight 800 sounds like a perfect plot for him to develop.
