Synopsis

"Terrific dam-busting climax." - EVENING STANDARD "Cliff-hanging suspense." - SUNDAY TELEGRAPH Straight from the action of The Guns of Navarone, the three Navarone heroes, Mallory, Miller and Andrea, are worn out and exhausted. Yet they have been called to make their first parachute jump into war-torn Yugoslavia. Under the code name of Force 10, they are to discover why the leaders of all four of the British Military Missions have gone missing and why 99 per cent of airlift supplies to the Yugoslavian Partisans have fallen into German hands. The aces are prepared to risk their lives and enter "the cruelest, hardest, most brutal war in Europe today" to find the answers.

About the Author:

Alistair MacLean, the son of a minister, was brought up in the Scottish Highlands. In 1941 he joined the Royal Navy. After the war he read English at Glasgow University and became a teacher. Two and a half years spent aboard a wartime cruiser gave him the background for HMS Ulysses, his remarkably successful first novel, published in 1955. He is now recognized as one of the outstanding popular writers of the 20th century, the author of 29 worldwide bestsellers, many of which have been filmed.
