We have no idea where the next, the monster, will hit...' '...until a criminal fanatic kidnaps a nuclear scientist and builds his own atomic bombs.

About the Author:

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.

Review:

'His best since H.M.S. Ulysses' Sunday Times

'Holds the reader to the final suspenseful page' Sunday Telegraph

‘The most successful British novelist of his time’ Jack Higgins
