Airframe by Michael Crichton ..up for grabs


Book : Airframe (Fiction)
Author : Michael Crichton
Published: 1996
Plot :Casey Singleton, a quality assurance vice-president at the fictional aerospace manufacturer Norton Aircraft, as she investigates an accident aboard a Norton-manufactured airliner that leaves 3 passengers dead and 56 injured.

It's a decent read but nothing as spectacular as Crichton's most novels, you can give it a go if you have some leisure time at hand. One of the very few Crichton's book which were not adapted to a Movie.

Let me know if anyone wants to grab this one... as I said it's free but you will have to pay for the postage or have to get arranged to be picked up.
