| Plot Summary of Sabre |
|---|
"A thrilling and witty actioner which details the maiden flight of the joint UK-French project SABRE, the world's first synergic oxygen-breathing hypersonic spaceplance which could revolutionize air travel as we know it . . . until a group of redundant American aviation business executives and union members plot to sabotage the SABRE using any means they possibly can. A novel which deserves a place in any thriller fan's collection and that will appeal to sci-fi fans as well with its visionary outlook on the future!"
