[Guenot Philippe]

Terrific thriller about the revenge of an ex Air Force pilot in Vietnam, ex POW, who is hired by Mohammad Kadhafi to kidnap the President of the United States aboard Air Force One. This lead character is the perfect anti-hero, involved in an impossible mission, but a hero for whom you'll feel great empathy, though the evil side of his task. Many details concerning the preparation of this astounding caper, better than a heist tale. The kind of story that you had in the seventies, bitter, gloomy, and that leaves you a bad taste in the mouth. Excellent thriller.

[Jim · Rating 3 out of 5]

The parts that rely on Col Abertazzie’s expertise were quite interesting. The rest was pedestrian.
