I’m going to take a break from my regular Sunday reading of Ovid’s Metamorphoses (which began last Sunday and will continue until the last Sunday in February) to read a Super Bowl themed book.
When the game begins in New Orleans this Super Bowl Sunday . . . 80,000 people had better get ready to die.
The Super Bowl–where thousands have gathered for an all-American tradition. Suddenly it’s the most terrifying place on earth . . .
Michael Lander is the most dangerous man in America. He pilots a television blimp over packed football stadiums every weekend. He is fascinated with explosives. And he happens to be very, very crazy. That’s why a beautiful PLO operative has seduced him. That’s why–on Super Bowl Sunday–the world will witness the bloody assassination of the U. S. president and the worst mass murder in history. Unless someone discovers what Michael Lander plans . . . and can kill him first.
Synopsis from Barnes & Noble
This was the book I originally wanted to read and review before today’s Super Bowl after taking out Murder at the Super Bowl by Fran Tarkenton with Herb Resnicow a couple of weeks ago. I did finish that book, but I knew there was another fiction (hopefully better) book about the Super Bowl out there. Today, I’ll find out if the debut novel from Harris, who, in case you’ve been living under a rock for the last 20 years, wrote the Hannibal Lecter series that spawned all the movies, is indeed better than Tarkenton’s incomplete pass.
