What Hacker News says
- Good novel: Frederick Forsyth — The Fist of God.
- Frederick Forsyth's "The Fist of God" is a good read and uses Gerald Bull and his super gun as part of the plot.
- Not comparable, but the story of Gerald Bull is interesting. I read Frederick Forsyth's The Fist of God in the late 90s and only came to know about Bull and Project Babylon when I chanced upon the Wikipedia article on the subject.
- It was also fictionalised in a Frederick Forsyth's espionage thriller, The Fist of God [1]
