Coonts, Stephen Minotaur by Stephen Coonts
Doubleday & Co. 1989 0385261470 / 9780385261470 Book Club (BCE/BOMC) Hard Cover Near Fine Near Fine Hard Cover 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
Stephen Coonts, Doubleday , book club, 1989, Black Hardcover with Dust Jacket, 436 pages, 9 1/2 tall, Coonts's third novel is a clever and unlikely paradox--a techno-thriller with a low-tech bias, at its best when indicting "techno-junk." Here he brings back Navy Captain Jake Grafton from what seemed certain death in Final Flight to take charge of developing a new tactical aircraft, the Minotaur, that depends on a variant of Stealth technology. Not only must Grafton tackle a prevailing mind-set equating elaborate gadgetry with combat performance, he must also cope with an information leak at the highest levels of the Defense Department labyrinth. Coonts is most compelling when he focuses on the politics of design and procurement; his comparisons of Navy and Air Force procedures are admirably sharp-edged. No price on jacket. Near Fine. DJ slightly rubbed. Inside pages clean and binding is tight.

With the flavor of fiction, yet with its foundation in fact, "The Psychic Battlefield is the complete history of the use of man's extrasensory powers in search of the information needed to win wars--hot and cold. "The Psychic Battlefield spans the five-thousand-year history of ESPionage, from the attempted overthrow of the Pharaoh Rameses by magic to the CIA's use of military-trained psychics during the Cold War. It is a story as true as it is incredible. Very Good. DJ edges slightly bent on edges. Inside pages clean and binding is tight.
