Maggers Wrote:Just curious about this. The artwork on the cover shows blond, curly haired Peter LaNague crouching before a wall with a smoking rifle/blaster in front of him. The hairdo bears no resemblance, but from the expression on the character's face, the way he is holding his hands and the look of his forearms, I could swear that FPW was the model for this picture. Every time I looked at the cover I kept flashing back to Orlando and Paul at the GU 4. Am I crazy or what?
Maggers Wrote:I wound up with a paperback version of "Enemy of the State," which I just finished. I enjoyed it. Can't say it's high up on my list of favorite FPW works. There are so many that I liked more, but I did like it alot. In reading EOTS, I learned more about politics and economics than I ever learned in school.

Maggers Wrote:Late in October I ordered a hardcover version of ENEMY OF THE STATE, along with several other FPW books, from amazon.com. The rest arrived, and I was told that EOTS would be shipped at a later date. Yesterday I received an email from amazon.com saying that they couldn't obtain the book and they canceled my order.
Maggers Wrote:No, way different. FPW's EOTS is a sci-fi adventure on the surface, but so much more than that.
For the record, I also really enjoyed Will Smith's "Enemy of the State," which is a mistaken identity, spy thriller, who's-got-the-computer-disc, super chase kinda movie.
