BLOCK, Thomas H(arris)
(1945-)
   US writer whose novels are often borderline TECHNOTHRILLERS, especially Mayday (1980) and the NEAR FUTURE ORBIT (1982), in which a 3900mph (6275kph) airliner is gimmicked by saboteurs into flying into orbit. Airship Nine (1984) is a full-fledged post- HOLOCAUST tale, with soldiers in Antarctica fending off nuclear winter and preparing to repopulate the planet.
