This World War 2 story revolves around a small number of allied agents who attempt a suicidal mission to gain access to an impenetrable castle, accessible only by cable car and defended by a crack German Gestapo unit , in order to rescue a general who holds key information on the forthcoming D-Day invasion.
As the story unfolds we discover there are traitors in the midst of the allied agents and there is far more to the plan than originally meets the eye, which keeps the reader interested and never quite sure wh...more

I haven't read this for ages so I thought I'd re-read it and submit a review. The author: Alistair MacLean was born in Scotland in 1922 and served in the Royal Navy during World War II. His first novel, HMS Ulysses drew on his wartime experiences and was a success. Specialising in the genres of adventures stories, spy stories and war stories MacLean wrote 28 novels and a collection of short stories during his career. A number of his novels were turned into films featuring major film stars of the day. These included Breakheart Pass (Charles Bronson), Bear Island (Donald Sutherland, Vanessa Redgrave, Christopher Lee), Ice Station Zebra (Rock Hudson) ... Read the complete review
