I read Fate is the Hunter when I was a brand new commerical pilot; it killed hours lying on an airbed under the wing of a C310 in the bush waiting for the clients to return.
I dug it out again recently and managed to get about half a dozen pages into it before tossing it in the trash can. 20+ years flying jets in various locations around the world changed the perspective enormously.
It is a junk book aimed at learners; they're the only ones who would be impressed by it. My comment would be "He can't be serious!!"
It reminded me of a few crusty old QF captains I came across over the years.
