Product Description

Product Description

The disappearance of Paul Billson, clerk in an engineering firm, seems a minor matter to security consultant, Max Stafford. But when routine enquiries result in Stafford being beaten up, he goes after Billson, who has impulsively taken off for the Sahara, where his air ace father had crashed during the London to Cape Town air race forty years earlier. A recent newspaper smear implied that Billson's father had rigged the crash to profit from an insurance scandal. Now Billson is intent on locating the plane and clearing his father's name - but someone is determined that he should never find it.


About the Author

Desmond Bagley was born in 1923, in Kendal, a rural town in England's scenic Lake District. He left school aged fourteen and worked for a number of years in the aircraft industry before embarking on an adventure - travelling to South Africa by road and supporting himself along the way by working in gold and asbestos mines. Bagley spent the Fifties in South Africa, working as a freelance journalist and critic, before moving to Italy with his wife, Margaret, and then to Guernsey.

5.0 out of 5 stars ONE OF THE BEST, 12 Mar 2001
By A Customer
When it comes to fast paced thriller stories Desmond Bagley was one of the best. Flyaway, much like the remaining 15 novels by this author, shows his attention to detail. He was a master of first rate research. Although Bagley died in early 1983, he did leave Bagley fans someone to fill his shoes. He coached (then local) Guernsey author John Templeton Smith. Read Smith's White Lie and Saigon Express and even the earlier works including Skytrap. As for the Bagley helpline to would be authors, Smith who now lives in the USA, is keeping up the tradition - he lectures part time at university on creative writing. It seems Mr Bagley's influence is still spreading.
