Format:Paperback
This was actually the very first Alistair MacLean book I read as a child, and I read it many time since. In my opinion it is one of his best. With all the usual thrills and spills, this one adds chills galore too; it does a great job of imparting a sense of cold and dark. Set on the frozen Greenland icecap, an airliner mysteriously crashes near a IGY (International Geological Year) research station. The scientists manning the station rescue the survivors and then the plot thickens... It turns out the crash was somehow arranged so that certain passengers could get a certain piece of equipment from the plane to an anonymous fishing vessel hidden among the coastal ice floes, and will stop at nothing to achieve their goals. Of course, the safety of the free world is at stake, and it seems a few unprepared scientists and assorted airline crew and passengers are the last line of defence for mankind. As with most of Alistair MacLean's books the timing is superb, the suspense ever-mounting, and the climax is perfect.

Not quite there 31 May 2000
Format:Paperback
This is one of Maclean's earlier efforts and it unfortunately comes across as such. The plot is as always excellent, but the actual writing is a little laboured. It is noticeable that telling the story in the first person creates a difficulty for the writer, with small irritations becoming manifestly larger as the book goes on: I nearly screamed at the number of times the author used the word "chagrin" to explain the feelings of Mason, the lead character. But this is all too negative. The story is a very good one, you are kept guessing throughout (as with every Maclean novel) and the book ends on one of the more gruesome, and therefore good, ways to die in any fictitious medium

A great chiller 23 Jan 2011
By Frodo
Format:Paperback
All the elements of a formula thriller. A group thrown together in adverse circumstances, an unidentified baddie amongst them with an unknown motive. But there is much more to this novel. Maclean also involves the cast in a battle against the elements which he handles superbly. A real page turner and deserves to be heralded as a classic of its genre. A real good yarn (but you might want to wrap up warm while you're reading it)
