[ 1.0 stars ] "Having read some of Mr. Bova's previous books, I was intrigued by the description for Able One. The first part was good enough to keep me going, but as I got into it I was less and less impressed. He has tried to copy the style of other authors, but did a very poor job of it. He had multiple threads, yet none of them had any relevance to the main storyline.At the end of the book, I was glad ..." Courtesy by Amazon

[ 3.0 stars ] "I found this book an interesting read, given the current serious international concern regarding stability in North Korea following the recent change in leadership - just as Ben Bova forecast two years ago. The author builds the tension gradually throughout the book to good effect, with the jostling for advantage amongst those in the USA and on the world stage driving the storyline as new anti-ba ..."

[ 2.0 stars ] "Back in 1990, HBO released a movie called By Dawn's Early Light, with a similar plot, except that this movie is about a nuclear bomber trying to attack the Soviet Union during a nuclear exchange between superpowers. In Able One, we find ourselves inside a powerful 747 with a mounted laser that should be able to destroy any missile in flight. It is easy to see that By Dawn's Early Light dev ..."

[ 4.0 stars ] "This is not really one of Bova's best; although he continues to turn out great science fiction books on a regular basis.Able One is a modified Boing 747 that has had a super powerful laser installed. Although it has never been tested it is put into play when North Korea shoots a missile towards the USA that is taken out but satellite pictures reveal that there are two more missles sitting read ..."

[ 5.0 stars ] "I have been a huge Ben Bova fan since I read his novel, Millennium. I thought that was a fantastic book and went on to read his Voyagers series, Mars, Titan and others. Bova has remained primarily a science fiction author but "Able One" is I suppose a departure in that this is a techo-thriller, much in the way of a Tom Clancy novel. If Ben Bova is planning to author more novels in this genre, I ..." Courtesy by Amazon
