Re: uh - liquid nitrogen grenades???



Thats the correct title and author.  He has written 2 other books, Temple
and Contest. I've read Temple, its as bad as Ice Station but have not read
Contest.
Reilly openly admits to having no knowledge in the area of guns, weapons
etc, as anyone who has read the books will soon realise, if it sounds good
he just tosses it in and runs with it.  For example in Temple he has the bad
guys running around with G11's one of the good guys finds a EMP generator
with a note attached warning do not use above 1.2gz, of couse he turns it up
and the G11's all stop working as the EMP fries the microchip controlling
the guns Rate of Fire (microchip since when????).
He also came up with a small demolition pack about the size of a lipstick
that vaporises everything within 200m.
All TOTAL CRAP......but Hollywood might like it.
