Product Description

Book Description

On the Polar ice-cap, 640 kilometres north of the Arctic Circle, the deadly, icy winds can freeze a man to death in minutes. But the survivors of the crashed airliner are lucky - they are rescued by three scientists from a nearby weather station. But why did the airliner crash in the first place? Who smashed the radio to pieces? And why does the dead pilot have a bullet hole in his back? The rescue quickly turns into a nightmare: a race through the endless Arctic night, a race against time, cold, hunger - and a killer with a gun.

4.0 out of 5 stars Maclean is one of the Greatest...., May 30 2004
By Jason Johnston "FAITHCHATTER.com" (Grapevine, TX) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
What can I say about Alistair Maclean? He is an all-time great and his stories have touched millions or people and been published in several languages. This is my first review of any of his work, but it is not the first novel of his that I have read.

Maclean has a beautifully descriptive touch to his writing. He also has a great way of making the reader sit on seat's edge, anticipating the next page and chapter of the novel. This story was all of that, for me.

I did like the first person narrative. It proved an unusual perspective to the story.

I am looking forward to reading more of Maclean's work and writing more reviews on them. I am a long-time fan of the late author and I miss the fact that his stories have ended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Spine chilling arctic adventure with twists & turns..., April 2 2003
By chris boini "bondintl" (Colorado, United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Night Without End (Audio Cassette)
An excellent introduction to the masterful work of MacLean who writes with unmatched authority and detail. Typical of British mystery/adventure writers, this book entwines high adventure, human frailities, emotions and an underlying menace that grips the reader early in the narrative that does not let go until almost the end.

As a reader you feel the cold of the arctic weather in Greenland, the misery suffered by the book's subjects, the anger at the pepetrators of the misery suffered by those involved in this adventure. You are torn between putting down the book due to the fatigue and eaxhaustion that you feel as each horror unfolds and yet not wanting to leave the next chapter unread!

This book is an excellent introduction to the genre of great writing- Maclean's double might very well be another writer, Desmond Bagley. It is a shame that we shall not see more material from these two...............
