Items related to Athabasca
Two agents investigate industrial sabotage against a pipeline in Alaska and the Athabasca Oil sands in Canada. This adventure novel is actually more of an old fashioned mystery novel. Our heroes, Dermott and Mackenzie investigate various events of sabotage/murder and the novel ends with the scene where everybody is gathered and the heroes explain whoguilty and how they did it. There are some suspense towards the end, but not much. Its biggest asset is MacLean occasional humor and character descriptions.

About the Author:
Review:
Alistair MacLean, the son of a Scots 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 schoolmaster. The two and a half years he spent aboard a wartime cruiser were to give 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.
