Alistair MacLean, the master of suspenseful novels, parachutes his heroes from the "Guns of Navarone" into the war torn, Nazi occupied mountains of Yugoslavia. Their mission: to blow a dam that is crucial to the Nazi offensive. An excellent action packed read. ( )Not quite as good as the original GUNS OF NAVARONE, but pretty darned entertaining anyway. It's particularly enjoyable watching the grizzled combat vets Mallory, Miller, and Andrea outwit and outclass the gung-ho young Commandoes. This is a strange book. The sequel novel ties in partly to the movie, with some of the characters, but pretty much sticks with the backstory and other information found in the Guns of Navarone. As such, it is a bit on the problematic side, and definitely not anywhere as tense, exciting or well done. http://notfreesf.blogspot.com/2007/02... Maclean's not the only genre hack to write his weakest book as a sequel to his best. 0.082 seconds to build listing no reviews | add a review
