Impressed by Reilly's chutzpah — and the draft of his next novel, Ice Station — she signed him to a two-book contract and the rest is history. Reilly wrote his first novel, Contest, at 19 while studying law at university. How he came to be represented by Pan MacMillan after putting out that novel himself is now the stuff of publishing legend. In Alaska, the U.S. nuclear missile interceptor base at Fort Greely is assaulted by some of its own staff, who destroy their transmitters to prevent the base for calling for help, execute the other soldiers and destroy the controls for the interceptor missiles. Indeed, indeed. The 'world' is now an expert in I.D'ing jensen cars, thats totally thanks to R.C's work of art that is the chassis data. It is treadted like a bible in our Jensen Church (no offence intended,it is a form of religion to me!) Of course, on the day she gets there, the fan gets blasted when terrorists steal 16 nuclear weapons from a facility in Russia and aim them at major cities in the United States. As she’s discussing how this could have happened with a superior, she discovers that the bad guys have also considered the role of the interceptor and happen to be on the ship already. Led by an obnoxious alpha male named Kessel ( Luke Bracey), the terrorists seem to have little more than complete annihilation of the human race on their mind. Can JJ keep them from the control room that would allow them to disable the interceptors and wipe out the entire United States?

Fans of Reilly's novels have largely responded to Interceptor more positively; many have enjoyed the similar style of storytelling to Reilly's books and were supportive of Reilly's first foray into film-making.While Reilly was on a book tour, his wife Natalie took her own life after battling anorexia and depression. Reilly was shattered. He became lost in his grief and was unable to write. But saying seriously, Interceptor and P5B are sitting very closely on the classic cars market, I think. Both from one period, both have comparable number of survivors on road, both have generally same layout - one called Gentleman Express, other is Gentleman club on the wheels, both attends people of comparable age and social status, so, I think, yes, we can extrapolate some truth regarding P5B, which is valid for Jensen and vice versa.

Reilly and Stuart Beattie wrote the screenplay together, with Beattie also serving as one of the film's producers, alongside Matthew Street and Michael Boughen.

The strike lasted for five months, and my show died. We had ABC and NBC in America both bid for that show. Literary Superstars got that close to the top of the mountain and fell to nothing. That one hurt. All the others, they're the slings and arrows of Hollywood."

Sort of thing that might affect book production runs?

The film saw a limited theatrical release in select cinemas across Australia a week before the Netflix streaming release on May 26th, with Reilly and Pataky both present at a premiere event with other cast and crew members. [9] The film made it proper international release via Netflix on June 3rd as planned. There have been many false starts in Reilly's efforts to forge a film career. His novels Ice Station, Scarecrow, The Great Zoo of China and Hover Car Racer were all optioned by Hollywood but stalled in various stages of development. Well, and Ferrari, Lambo, Maserati, Aston Martin and Rolls-Royce with Bentley probably produced less cars in over all its existance, than Huinday for last Quarter. Does this means, that people tend to buy more books about Huinday rather than about forementioned marques all together? I think my publisher is worried I'll keep directing movies and not write any more books, but I enjoy the creativity of writing a book. And you have a special relationship with your audience when it's just you and your reader. I'd love to make a movie, write a book, make a movie, write a book. That'd be pretty good."

I know that Ric has invaluable material about the pre war coach building period as well as the commercial vehicle history to fill several books. Of course also the 1960's and 70's were extensively researched and documented by him, and he has more than enough material and photo's to publish several more books just about this period. An example: do you know why Jensen equipped the later Healey's with a 5-speed gearbox? Well he can explain why.
