This is a couple of cold-war spy/action stories from the 1980s. I expect them to be a good read (I like David Drake's writing), but perhaps also with some interest in them as period pieces.

Loose Cannon was quite interesting. I was surprised to find that they are completely independent, set in alternate universes. The first a straight thriller, the second with lots of SF themes thrown, but a bit too strange to be taken seriously. (And with one technical error that surprised me.)

It's time I got back to Agatha Christie again. It's been a couple of months since I last read one. This is her 24th book. Death in the Clouds by Agatha Christie.
