  Didn't work.  Never mind, I found it.  A 'Kill The Prez' novel, eh?

Yep.

His books are very action packed, but stretch the imagination quite a bit.  I still enjoy them.

  That's what good fiction should do.  As long as the suspension of disbelief is finely tuned, a good novelist can take you anywhere.

These are really bad though.  It's like "OMG, you've got to be kidding me".

Still, there really isn't a slow spot in any of them.

He's got 3 books with the same characters -- Ice Station, Area 7 and Scarecrow.

He also wrote Temple and Contest.  I really enjoyed all of them.

Yeah, but I don't hold it against him.  Wink

If you can find it, start with Ice Station.

  If it's outrageous fiction, then Prince's End (giggle) library, will have it.

  I do.  I have two more books to read, Kazuo Ishiguro - Remains Of The Day, and Lothar Gunther Bucheim - Das Boot, then I shall investigate further.

  It's pretty good.  Captures the cramped smelly feeling you must get in a U-Boat.  I only read the English version a month or so ago, this one's the German version, which I'm trying to work through in a bid to improve my bad schoolboy German.
