MacLean is just gone. Read his books from the 60s if you want good thrillers.

Wasn't a bad book, although the ending was a little abrupt. Felt very much like "Where Eagles Dare" with all of the double agents and double crosses. I'll try another of his, they are small so it should be easy.

This is a complicated adventure yarn set during WW II in Yugoslavia with the Italians and Germans being the enemy as are the Cetniks, while Tito's Partisans are the group the Allied spies and soldiers are trying to serve. There is some romance as two women end up being on the trek into the

mountains with one of whom is spying for the enemy because they have kidnapped her child to make sure she feeds them the hero's plans.

The hero, Major Peter Peterson, is a little too smart and well informed to be entirely credible but the villains never have a chance with him as leader and his buddy, George, a university professor of languages, as his partner.

A thoroughly engaging story of intrigue in the early days of World War II, with enough twists to satisfy a pretzel connoisseur.
