The Minotaur

Stephen Coonts. Dell Publishing Company, $7.99 (448pp) ISBN 978-0-440-20742-9

Navy Captain Jake Grafton develops an aircraft known as the Minotaur using Stealth technology and deals with a Defense Department information leak in this techno-thriller. PW commented, ``Coonts is most compelling when he focuses on the politics of design and procurement; his comparisons of Navy and Air Force procedures are admirably sharp-edged.'' (Oct.)
