4.0 out of 5 stars Don't make the same mistake I did, April 27 2002
By microtv (Jackson, MI USA) - See all my reviews
This book is classic Innes. But it has also been published under the title "Fire in the Snow". So if you are like me, trying to catch up on his early books, just be aware that the same book lurks under different titles.

4.0 out of 5 stars Hammond Innes' Best, Nov 28 2001
I have read several books by Hammond Innes and have always enjoyed the adventure and exotic found in his stories.

The Lonely Skier, however, stands apart.

This book, with its post-war-time story of espionage in a remote ski chalet on the Italian/German border, will not disappont the reader looking for adventure, action, or intrigue. In addition, The Lonely Skier is also packed with dry comedy, interesting characters, and is akin to watching an elegant black and white movie of the forties.

It is rare that I read a book more than once, but I have read this book so many times that it has literally fallen apart and I need to find a new copy. I might also add that I took this book along during twelve years in Africa and I always found its snowy backdrop more effective than the most powerful of air conditioners.
