Candy,

it is unbelievable... untrue also which is why the publisher pulled it from thier inventory. Burdick and the prob. officer who he quotes regularly are wanna be's. Thier slighting of DA is completely untrue.

I got Speed Kills from the local library. Had to wait about a week.

Speed Kills can be found on ebay most anytime. Search words, Don Aronow,

I`ve bought 2 copies in the past year.although I don`t even have 1 at the moment. People never return books???:(

Unbelievable! Exactly! The story was definitely out there. It was very interesting and I would still recommend the audio version of Blue Thunder. You don't have to believe everything you hear to find something interesting. I plan to read Speed Kills next. I find these stories interesting but not concrete enough to judge a person or person’s life. Are there any books you would recommend on the early days of Offshore?

Dan

SEARACE by john crouse is the bible of offshore, get it.

Saber28,
Thanks for the suggestion.
Dan

I've read "Speed Kills" but I don't remember it painting Aronow in a particularly bad light, unless you're talking about the womanizing and selling businesses knowing he'd have to take them back and keep the buyers downstroke. Or selling to a known felon/drug dealer while he had active government contracts to build drug interdiction boats and that the sale would void those contracts so he could take the business back or start another boat company to get the contracts back for himself making the former business he'd sold worthless. Otherwise, I don't think it put Don in a bad light. Business is business, right?


Wasn't there a History channel piece done on this and aired recently. History Channel or Speed Channel or some "Channel" anyway.
