  I absolutely love the wry, tongue-in-cheek, laconic writing style. As a fan of the SR, you almost know what's coming, and you know you're enjoying the ride till the mic drops.

  As soon I saw the article I wondered “maybe this was the guy that wrote that amazing SR-71 speed check story” RIP, what a life, what a character!

    Check out his book “Sled Driver” as that story comes from there and is only a single amazing story out of many from that book.

      alas, it's been OOP for a long time, and copies are seriously expensive.
