Coonts also did a non-fiction novel 'The Cannibal Queen' - in which he toured the US in a restored Steerman bi-plane - that was enjoyable.
I just purchased his "Final Flight" tonight and I'll get to it in time. I am also eyeing the one you mention, "The Cannibal Queen". And I also fired off an email to him to say hello and to thank him for the fun and enjoyment his books have given me.
