Classic Alastair Maclean

Really one of Macleans less known books - but it follows the fast adventure pace which his earlier novels demonstrate. Straightforward characters with a strong bent for heroism and adventure, a fast moving plot with several double crosses, smooth and engrossing storyline with simple and elegant descriptions. Maclean was famous for books like Where Eagles Dare, and the Guns of Navarone which are full of hereoes doing relatively heroic tasks and facing impossible odds. This one fits the bill. A great light adventure read.
