I liked "Airframe", about a female airline investigator, who is trying to discover why a perfectly good jet plane lost control mid air. I guess it's one of his lesser know books coz it hasn't been made into a film.

jdocster, no I didn't know he was 6 ft 9", truly a giant amongst men! Sphere was great, 80srocked; I've seen the movie a surprising amount of times, and even though its built around a series of twists its always entertaining. Stich, I've not read many of his books; I imagine its only a matter of time before they turn 'Airframe' into a movie.
