About this listen

When the game begins in New Orleans this Super Bowl Sunday . . . 80,000 people had better get ready to die.

The Super Bowl--where thousands have gathered for an all-American tradition. Suddenly it's the most terrifying place on earth . . .

Michael Lander is the most dangerous man in America. He pilots a television blimp over packed football stadiums every weekend. He is fascinated with explosives. And he happens to be very, very crazy. That's why a beautiful PLO operative has seduced him. That's why--on Super Bowl Sunday--the world will witness the bloody assassination of the U. S. president and the worst mass murder in history. Unless someone discovers what Michael Lander plans . . . and can kill him first.©1975 Thomas Harris; (P)1999 Random House, Inc.; Bantam Doubleday Dell Audio Publishing, a Division of Random House, Inc.

Loved it. Ideal narration for a thrilling story that holds up surprisingly well half a century after it was written, without the dated attitudes you might expect. Thomas Harris was clearly ahead of his time on both gender and psychology. Just wished there was more of it, and that the unabridged version was available too!
