Book Description
Joseph Heller's rollicking novel, Catch-22, used black humor to point out, and point up, the inanities and insanities experienced by men at war. In a similar vein, It's Too Late to Leave Early employs plain vanilla humor to illustrate the frustrations and idiocies common to an industry the author, a former aerospace engineer, knows all too well.
You'll meet many outrageous characters a one time porn queen who's into blackmail; the wealthy great-grandson of a Russian aviation pioneer who'lll do anything to get back the company he believes was "stolen" from his family; a former Air Force lieutenant colonel who reinvents himself as a totally inept favorite of management; a wannabe Western film star who's never been within fifty yards of a horse; an ultra-paranoid executive vice president and general manager; a nymphomaniacal lady scheduler and sundry others all of whom are embroiled in situations ranging from the ridiculous to the sublime, and beyond. Enjoy!
