He cons Chairman Bud Lightfoot of the powerful Fuels Agency to gamble for \"your date with destiny.\" The gamble hits the jackpot: captivity in the Alps, ruined romance, murder - tangled in a true tale of government deception. The public doesn't win. \"Ruthless federal bureaucrats stop at nothing to fire underlings and revive the zeppelin industry in this farcical thriller. \"One harebrained scheme after another moves the lurching narrative forward.... \"There's a splash of dirigible lore, but it's the novel's stagy, anachronistic prose and dialogue--'Fearlessness has brought us to these heights, madam, and fealessness shall sustain us'--that most evoke the Hindenburg era.\" -- Kirkus Reviews\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Winslow\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1439217807\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781439217801\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Booksurge Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/13\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 206\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.48lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.25w x 0.44d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2012","brand":"John Winslow","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48436558332159,"sku":"9781439217801","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3490900d-4005-4bd3-968a-bd5eea474799.jpg?v=1777157019","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-accurst-tower-john-winslow-9781439217801","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
