Review
'As long as meticulous craftsmanship and honest entertainment are valued, and as long as action, authenticity, and expertise still make up the strong framework of the good adventure/thriller, Desmond Bagley's books will surely be read.' REGINALD HILL, Twentieth Century Crime and Mystery Writers
'Bagley is a master storyteller.' DAILY MIRROR
'Bagley has become a master of the genre, a thriller writer of intelligence and originality.' SUNDAY TIMES
'Very much of the moment. The characters are sympathetic and believable.' SUNDAY TIMES
Product Description
Double action thrillers by the classic adventure writer set in the South American Andes and British Columbia.
HIGH CITADEL
When Tim O'Hara's plane is hijacked and forced to crash land in the middle of the Andes, his troubles are only beginning. A heavily armed group of communist soldiers intent on killing one of his passengers - an influential political figure - have orders to leave no survivors. Isolated in the biting cold of the Andes, O'Hara's party must fight for their lives with only the most primitive weapons…
LANDSLIDE
Bob Boyd is a geologist, as resilient as the British Columbia timber country where he works for the powerful Matterson Corporation. But his real name and his past are mysteries - wiped out by the accident that nearly killed him. Then Boyd reads a name that opens a door in his memory: Trinavant - and discovers that Bull Matterson and his son will do almost anything to keep the Trinavant family forgotten forever…
Includes a unique bonus - My Old Man's Trumpet, a previously unpublished short story about a New Orleans music shop owner.

Landslide is less exciting, but still a solid addition to Bagley's canon. Geologist, Bob Boyd, who works in British Columbia timber country, has no memory of his past following a terrible accident, which only he survived. Hired by the powerful Matterson Corporation to survey land before they build a great new dam, he begins to uncover the shaky foundations of the Matterson family and becomes a fly in their ointment. Matters are complicated when he falls in love with Claire Trinavant, the last link to a forgotten family whose name strikes a mysteriously resonant chord. Worth getting if only for the masterful 'High Citadel', however 'Landslide' is a definite grower and perhaps the more polished of the pair.
