Book Review:
''The Minotaur'' by Stephen Coonts is a thrilling, fast-paced graphic thriller featuring Jake Grafton. A Soviet mole is raiding Pentagon secrets. Fighter-jock Jake Grafton has survived his share of airborne death duels. Now he's grounded. He's now in charge of developing a carrier-launched tactical attack aircraft. But a Soviet network is trashing U.S. security. Behind it is the ultimate intelligence master called The Minotaur. His sights are on Jake's aircraft—and his plans are for one last kill.

Coonts' writing is red-hot and fast-paced, laced with harrowing insights into the thankless, razor's-edge world of the Navy test pilot and the labyrinth of superpower espionage. This is his best work yet, surpassing Tom Clancy in the cloak-and-dagger adventure-intrigue genre. If you enjoy military thrillers, spy fiction, or the Jake Grafton series, The Minotaur is a must-read. Highly recommended!
