From the back cover: He is an American, a patriot... and a disciplined commando trained to infiltrate and destroy. But a war game gone awry has turned Sergeant Mark Stitzer into a haunted victim of his own madness, a walking instrument of death. Now he is on his own mission-- a mission of vengeance, a journey into hell.
Hunted by the men who trained him, lured by the one person he trusts, he prowls the city, as stealthy as an animal on its own killing grounds. No one-- not the police, not the FBI, not the U.S. Army-- know how to stop him... and no one can predict the terror he is about to unleash.

This is Dave Barry's attempt at fiction. It was very highly reviewed and rated very funny by most reviewers. Somehow I just didn't think it was that great.

From the back cover: In an isolated Antarctic research outpost, a small group of scientists made a once-in-a-lifetime discovery. For the first time, modern man would come face-to-face with the absolute ruler of the prehistoric world, the fearsome king of the dinosaurs-- the mighty Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Blinded by scientific zeal, the researchers thought only of the importance of their find, the contribution to modern science. But soon they were forced to open their eyes to an inescapable fact. Once revived, the specimen needed to feed. And unlike some of his extinct relatives, this one was a CARNIVORE.

From the back cover: Toby was on top of it. "You're Eleanor Roosevelt." "I know," she answered. "I'm afraid you will have to do a bit better than that if you are to convince me of your skills."
Toby Peters had worked with all the Hollywood greats-- Mae West, Bela Lugosi, Flynn, Groucho, Cooper-- but he never expected to find the First Lady sitting in his office (the one he shares with Sheldon Minck, the less than antiseptic dentist). But she was there, and she had a problem: Someone had kidnapped Fala, FDR's prize Scotty, and left an imposter in the Oval Office...
Toby sets out to prove to Eleanor Roosevelt that he can, indeed, do better than simply recognizing her, but there are elements loose on the streets who plan to keep Toby from enjoying any fireside chats... even if it means murder.
Helping Toby work his way through a maze of dead bodies, dirty deals (old and new), and right-wing fanatics are Buster Keaton, Sheldon Minck, Jeremy Butler-- as comfortable with a headlock as a sonnet, and Toby's best friend, the Swiss midget Gunther Werthman.
With a team like that awake, wouldn't you sleep well tonight?

From the back cover: They were the Bulldogs. A platoon of helicopter gunship pilots stationed along the west border, a few klicks from Cambodia and Laos. Their names were Danly, Bookman, Barnes, Spradling, Gray, and Winters. And for all their differences, for better or worse, they were a team.
The Bulldogs flew killing missions against an invisible enemy, several times a day, almost every day.
And some of them-- the lucky ones-- even made it home.
Powerfully dramatic. Explosively real. A stunning new novel of Vietnam and the men who flew the choppers across its blazing skies. Author David R. Olson was there, flying a gunship for the First Air Cavalry Division along the western border of Vietnam.

THE STRATEGY: a bold but desperate long shot plotted behind the closed doors of the White House Situation Room. THE SECRET WEAPON: the aging but still supremely potent floating fortress, the historic and majestic USS Missouri.
