Fór loksins á bókamarkađ Bókavörđunnar viđ Hlemm í dag. Fann nú lítiđ viđ mitt hćfi enda fer ég alltaf átómatískt ađ leita ađ James Bond og Robert Ludlum bókum ţegar ég gramsa ómarkvisst í gömlum skruddum. Gat samt ekki stillt mig um ađ púnga út 150 kr. fyrir ţessa ţvćldu kilju sem kom út áriđ 1981 í Bretlandi en kom fyrst út í Bandaríkjunum 1979. Bókin er eftir Roderick Thorp og áriđ 1988 kom ţrususpennumynd byggđ á henni í bíó.
Káputextinn er svohljóđandi og ţví óţarfi ađ nefna myndina sérstaklega:
ONE MAN - ALONE, MAROONED, OUTNUMBERED...AND RUNNING OUT OF TIME
NOTHING LASTS FOREVER
The setting - Los Angeles.
The time - the twenty-four hours between Christmas Eve and Christmas morning.
Joe Leland, veteran cop and former war hero, finds himself bang in the middle of the most terrifying situation any policeman has ever dreamed of - a crime in progress.
Stranded in a high office block, outnumbered by twelve to one, the wiry ex-cop takes on a flight to the death against fully armed terrorists, whilst the lives of seventy-five hostages - including those of his own daughter and grandchildren hang in the fragile balance.
But Leland not only knows who the terrorists are and the cruel attrocities of wich they are capable, he is also aware of the bloody and destructive anti-terrorist plans of the Los Angeles Police Department.
NOTHING LASTS FOREVER
-the heart-stopping thriller that will keep you rivetted right up to the savage climax wich shatteres the quiet dawn of Christmas Day.
Yippee-ki-yay, motherfuckers!
