In the Nevada desert, an experiment has gone horribly wrong. A cloud of nanoparticles (micro-robots) has escaped from the laboratory. This cloud is self-sustaining and self-reproducing. It is intelligent and learns from experience. For all practical purposes, it is alive.

Airframe is nonstop Crichton: the extraordinary mixture of super suspense and authentic information on a subject of compelling interest that has been a Crichton hallmark since The Andromeda Strain.

Story

Probably my fault but I was expecting more action. Instead I learned about the paperwork of an airline manufacturing company which a little goes a long way. I kept waiting for something to happen but it just never did.
Ending was a let down - felt like I could have spent my time more wisely.
This author is usually on my top 3 but not today with this one.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Grabs your attention at the very beginning. Not what you expect instead it takes a turn for the interesting. Makes you want to keep reading.

What did you like best about this story?

What about Tom Stechschulte’s performance did you like?

Just the right inflection at the right times. Made the characters and story come to life.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Made me think.

Any additional comments?

Good book.

Best-selling novelist Cullen "Cubby" Greenwich is a lucky man and he knows it. He makes a handsome living doing what he enjoys. His wife, Penny, a children's book author and illustrator, is the love of his life. Together they have a brilliant six-year-old, Milo, affectionately dubbed "Spooky," and a non-collie named Lassie, who's all but part of the family. So Cubby knows he shouldn't let one bad review of his otherwise triumphant new book get to him.

Set in Junction City, Iowa, The Library Policeman is the story of Sam Peebles, a middle-aged businessman who happens to have some overdue books. It seems a minor offense - but not to Junction City's malevolent monster of a librarian. What follows is spine-tingling suspense as only Stephen King can deliver it.

SK sometimes comes out of no where and sneaks up on you. This one did. Good short story, but I don't think it would have been interesting if it were any longer. At the end I was ready for it to be over.
