The Ransom of Black Stealth One

It is a good read AND RE-READ! It isn't a new work, but it holds up well. "Stealth" for a private pilot; what FUN! Gift it to a pilot!

After researching a half dozen authors to replace Clancy, whose work I had finished, I chose Dean Ing and was not disapppointed. Set in the days just previous to the Gulf War, when most people became aware of stealth technology, Ing has crafted a fine story with real characters and believable dialog. The only criticism I have is that Ing's timeline jumps around too much. Ing has a gift for the analogous and characters are easily identified. Since I generally stay with one author until I exhaust their work, I'll be looking for Ing's other novels next. Glad to say there is life after Clancy.
