Like Alistair MacLean -- only nastier!
29 Mar 2000
Format:Hardcover
Expertly researched and written maritime thriller in the solid tradition of Alistair MacLean and Hammond Innes. Terrific atmosphere aboard a tug that salvages wrecked ships -- and with much knowledge to impart about the little-known salvage business. Strong plotting, lots of gritty action, including a nuclear device -- but a bit too much death and bloodshed for my tastes. Callison seems to enjoy bumping off major characters, often in a somewhat grisly way, and this happened a few too many times to conform to the traditional thriller plot (a al Innes) where the bad guys "get theirs" and the good guys win. Not a bad, book, though, for those who've run out of MacLean novels to read.
