It's Too Late to Leave Early: An Aerospace Fable

William Walling

0/5 ( ratings)

It's lighter than air! Joseph Heller?s rollicking "tour de farce," CATCH-22, used black humor to illustrate the inanities and insanities experienced by men at war. In a similar vein, this novel employs plain vanilla humor to dramatize the idiocies and frustrations afflicting those employed in an industry the author, a former aerospace engineer, knew only too well. You'll encounter a one time porn queen who's into blackmail; the wealthy great-grandson of a Russian aviation pioneer who's obsessed with re-acquiring the giant aerospace firm he insists was "stolen" from his family; a former Air Force lieutenant colonel who reinvents himself as a totally inept favorite of management; a wannabe Western film actor who's never been within fifty yards of a horse; an ultra-paranoid executive vice president; a nymphomaniac lady manager and sundry others, all embroiled in pluperfectly Quixotic situations ranging from the ridiculous to the sublime, and beyond.
