captain1976 0 #4 June 14, 2010 Skydiver Driver is a pretty good novel from 1994, but its kind of hard to get. The only one I have seen lately is over $100 on ebay and sometimes you can get one at Amazon.com but its out of print. They do have a few libraries that have them also.You live more in the few minutes of skydiving than many people live in their lifetime Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
