Does it really refer directly to Oklahoma City and Mr. "McVey". That is very uncanny if true. I think, I'll pick up a copy myself. It was written in 1991?

TWA Flight 800 is a whole other "can of worms". 100s of people saw something/a light (a missle?) go up towards the plane and then it exploded. Yet, the government says the center fuel tank is to blame, even though previously and since 747 center fuel tanks haven't exploded.

Its interesting the lengths gone into to justify the uncanny prediction of the OK bombing and mr. "McVey"...[R]emember it's written in 1991[.]

You may find it fruitful to assess your definition of "interesting," as a book published after an event that alludes to those events seems less 'interest[ing]' than, say, conventional.

I refer you, again, to this post, which you've assuredly not read.

...is that it was published in 1996. Which, you might note, would certainly account for the choice of Oklahoma and the phonetic similarity with the now-executed perpetrator's name.

Within another framework: is it more likely, with the bombing having taken place in April 1995 and the book having been published no later than December 1996 - that the book took between roughly 9 and 21 months to write or, as you seem to be saying, that it took four years?

And if it did take four years, how do you know that the author's selection of location and character name didn't come along until after - or indeed, weren't influenced or inspired by - the tragic events in Oklahoma City on April 19th, 1995?"
