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.

Maclean's not the only genre hack to write his weakest book as a sequel to his best. ( )

The guns have been silenced.
But the heroic survivors of Navarone are far from still. They are ready for action again -- and headed for even more excitement in this fast-paced novel of adventure by a master storyteller.
Their mission: to free an entire Partisan army trapped in the rugged mountains of Yugoslavia.
It begins with a parachute drop behind enemy lines and a deliberate walk into a German camp.
Six men against the might of two armoured divisions. They couldn't fight them. So they had to join them.
And then somehow destroy them!
It was an assignment that made Navarone look like a local scout jamboree.

Commander Vincent Ryan, R.N., Captain (Destroyers) and commanding officer of His Majestry's latest S-class destroyer Sirdar, leaned his elbows comfortably on the coaming of his bridge, brought up his night glasses and gazed out thoughtfully over the calm and silver water of the moonlit Aegean.
