“Don’t ask me what it means yet, just go and ferret it out. My stink detector is in the red zone,” Coldwell said dryly. Dimon heard the sucking sound of Coldwell lighting up. “You’re on KLM next flight out at Gatwick, better get cracking.”
“Right,” Dimon said. “We got a mission?”

Inferno by Dan Brown
Inferno (Robert Langdon, #4)

Mediocre at best. Settings are the best part of the book. The premise seems more like Brown's philosophy of life rather than simply a good story. Not his best by any means.

Viper Pilot by Dan Hampton
Very good of this genre. Not for everyone but I've always been a sucker for good flying stories; real or fiction - Chuck Yeager, James Salter's flying stuff, Antoine St. Exupery, etc. Anyone into that stuff would like this.
