As a matter of fact, I bet it would be fun to read similar material about non-software projects also.

But I think I did find it! And it was, in fact, someone well-known! Here it is:http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg.../-/0932633390/

The Deadline: A Novel About Project Management
by Tom Demarco

The reviews aren't all so glowing, but I'm excited about the book. And in true Amazon style, it seems to have given some leads on some similar books that might be interesting, like "the Goal" by Goldratt. Cool!

Thanks to everyone for all the tips!
Bob, if you check out Syngress Press you'll find quite a few fictionalized dramas about computer security (if you're into that, which I am), that detail factual infomation. It's a great way to pick up on a few new things in the IA area of computers while enjoying a good read. I've picked up quite a few and they all come with free downloads of the text for digital viewing. To name a few - 0-Day Exploit: Countdown to Darkness: How to Own a Continent, Stealing the Network: How to Own an Identity. Cool reads!
