Finished/Comments: (3343) Quantico by Greg Bear

Author's description of an U.S. Air Force C5 Galaxy sounds like a C141 and not any of the C5's that I did US custom inspections on back in 1982-84. The C5's I inspected, passengers road in the back 2/3 of the upper deck in 70 rearward facing seats. The lower deck was strictly cargo and didn't have an fold down seats like the 141 and C130 do. The front third of the C5's upper deck is the cockpit, and work, lounge, and sleeping (bunks) area for the crew(s).

Other than the blooper described above, the book was good. Some parts sounded familiar and I think I may have listened to this book two or three years ago.
