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.

@roger_bakes @OldCarLongRoad @JaneNightshade @Freelineorlando @KellyRek @SpyLovedMeToo @TimothyJamesCat @Tico_Romao @JeffreyRothsch3 @AMclenon Its an Alistair MacLean book. Far-fetched school boy adventures like this and others like Guns of Navarone, Ice Station Zebra & Puppet on a Chain. Apart from Hang 'Em High - a Spgahetti ripoff - his early roles were all over the place, this & Paint Yoru Wagon or Kelly's Heroes.
