Reviews
Philip Maclean, an English art student living in France in 1940, escapes to England where he is recruited by British intelligence. He soon returns to France to establish Scorpio, a resistance network. Barely operational, Scorpio is betrayed and Maclean and his followers are rounded up and shipped off to concentration camps. Forty years later British intelligence officer Harry Chapman is assigned to find out who betrayed Scorpio, and why. He quickly learns that others are ready to kill to keep the truth buried forever. Allbeury ( The Lantern Network , LJ 2/15/89) offers a well-written, leisurely excursion into a mild version of espionage with interesting characters engaged in a well-crafted plot. Quietly entertaining, but not for the hard-core spy thriller fan. Recommended for large fiction collections.

In 1940, Philip Maclean witnessed the German invasion of France and returned to head a Resistance network based in Paris. Another recruit to the network was Henri Masson: a playboy and a liar; but apparently also a patriot. Maclean's brilliant work with the Resistance was mirrored by his personal life: he lived as a Frenchman through two years of occupation and married his great love, Anne~Marie Duchard. However, what seemed the ultimate accolade~a personal interview in which Churchill ordered him to abandon all caution and attack the Nazis directly turned horribly sour when Maclean and his entire network were arrested and thrown into concentration camps. They had been betrayed. Forty years later MI6 officer Harry Chapman discovers that all records of "Scorpio" were destroyed by a sinister British Intelligence officer in 1945. Chapman begins the difficult task of tracing the survivors who are willing to talk: Anne~Marie, still bitter about the treatment of her beloved husband, and two of Maclean's lieutenants who survived the Nazi camps. Soon Chapman realizes that only the pilot, Henri Masson, knew what really happened. And Masson is dead . ~ Ted Allbeury served as Lieutenant Colonel in British Intelligence. One of England's favorite authors and a perennial best~seller; his works have been translated into fifteen languages. Proclaimed "truly a classic writer of espionage fiction" by no less an expert than Len Deighton, Allbeury was the real~life inspiration for Deighton's own unforgettable character, Harry Palmer.
