Title: Vortex by Jon Land ISBN: 0-8217-1469-4 Publisher: Kensington Mass Market Pub. Date: October, 1984 Format: Paperback |
Average Customer Rating: 5 (1 review)
Rating: 5
Summary: Superb technothriller
Comment: Jon Land, the author of "Vortex", has been writing technothrillers for 20 years. Before Tom Clancy, there was Jon Land. Although he has not achieved Clancy's popularity, his novels are very entertaining. "Vortex" is an absolutely engrossing novel that is hard to put down.
The story begins with the disappearance of a 727 from radar. A friend of the main character observes this, but no one believes him and he is eventually silenced to cover up the larger plan. After the flight returns, some of the passengers have enhanced capabilities. One of those survivors, a 15 year old boy, becomes a wanted target by those behind the infamous Vortex project. The hero, like all heroes in technothriller, avoids a number of traps to eventually unravel the mystery behind Vortex.
The Philadelphia Experiment plays a role in this as well as Albert Einstein. A bit of science fiction is added to the story in this area and, while only proven in theory, it does fit with the overall storyline. A race to prevent World War III begins and ends with the mystery of Vortex. Since this was published in 1984, there's even a mention of Reagan's "Star Wars"/SDI (Strategic Defense Initiative), although it isn't mentioned by name.
The book is long out of print, but definitely a "must-read" if you can locate a copy and are fans of technothrillers.
