The Bookcassette® format is a special recording technique developed as a means of condensing the full, unabridged audio text of a book to record it on fewer tapes. In order to listen to these tapes, you will need a cassette player with balance control to adjust left/right speaker output. Special adaptors to allow these tapes to be played on any cassette player are available through the publisher or some US retail electronics stores.
From Publishers Weekly
Credible characters, plausible relationships between men and women and a complex, controlled plot mark this blend of techno-thriller, detective story and corporate romance set in the world of military procurement. The title refers to a proposed new fighter plane--a billion-dollar contract for the winning firm. Mark Muldoon, retired Air Force lieutenant colonel turned operations manager for Hearst Avionics, sees the crucial factor in a successful bid as JAWS, a radar system that will revolutionize air-to-air combat. The theft of the JAWS prototype supplies the pivotal action for Crowder's ( Ambush at Osirak ) well-crafted pursuit and recovery tale. Hardcore techno-thriller fans may cavil at Crowder's using JAWS as what Alfred Hitchcock used to call a MacGuffin--an object that generates the action but otherwise is of minor importance. They will applaud, however, his convincing descriptions of high-tech gadgetry and his skill at conveying the competitive, hothouse environment of contemporary defense industries.

Ex-Vietnam fighter pilot Mark Muldoon is operations manager at the aeronautics corporation bidding for a top secret new government plane, the F-22 Weatherhawk, and Jaws is the key to getting the contract. But when the prototype is stolen in midair on its way to a Defense Department audition, Mark, his colleagues at Hearst Avionics, even his girlfriend, an expert on the unit's software, are swept up in a storm of violence and intrigue. Everyone is after the unit. the Soviets, Heart's ruthless corporate competitors, a shawody group of mercenary middlement eager to sell the radar to the highest bidder, and perhaps most sinister of all, a black operations group within the government intent on killing the whole Weatherhawk project and anyone who stands in the group's way.
