Forbidden Area is a tingling novel which deals with the near future: the atomic age pushed to its limits of insanity. Major Jesse Price is a flyer whose loss of an eye during the Korean War has grounded him. Too valuable to be released, he is made the Air Force representative to The Intentions of the Enemy Group, a top-secret high-level organization which is trying to keep a step ahead of enemy thinking. Major Price's adventures combine with those of the beautiful Katharine Hume of AEC. The secret data they share would raise goose-pimples on a polar bear. But together they find they must battle the terrifying indifference of the American public to news of its own impending destruction. The reader can see both sides of this struggle for world dominance and will have to catch his breath as Forbidden Area speeds to its terribly intense climax.]]> Wed, 14 Sep 1977 21:47:48 +0300 Alas, Babylon (Harper Perennial Olive Edition) https://anthologies.library.land/pat-frank/608451-alas_babylon_harper_perennial_olive_edition.html https://anthologies.library.land/pat-frank/608451-alas_babylon_harper_perennial_olive_edition.html
