R.E. McDermott tops today’s Buffet with his action-adventure novel Deadly Straits<\/em>. It’s a\u00a0non-stop thrill ride, from London streets, to the dry docks of Singapore, to the decks of the tankers that feed the world’s thirst for oil, with stops along the way in Panama, Langley, Virginia, and Teheran. Richly spiced with detail from the author’s 30 years sailing, building, and repairing ships worldwide, it is, in the words of one reviewer, “fast-paced, multilayered and gripping.”<\/p>\n

\"\"McDermott writes the type of stories he likes to read himself. That means ordinary people forced by circumstances into extraordinary situations. “I dislike stories in which the hero is some combination of brain surgeon\/nuclear physicist (or who has some equally far-fetched skill set) and who just coincidentally happens to be an ace helicopter pilot and a fifth degree black belt in several different martial arts,” he says.<\/p>\n
