Finished Mo 5/9/11
"Nothing Lasts Forever" is the basis for the film, DIE HARD. Roderick Thorp's novel is very 'readable', but sometimes, 'a picture is worth a thousand words'. So much of the novel concerns descriptions of action sequences which were a bit hard to follow, whereas, when seen, they are immediately obvious, and much more powerful than on the printed page. Usually, I prefer a book over a film, but in this case, the movie worked better.
It is nice to remember that International Terrorism was a very big deal decades before 9/11.
