Excellent Thriller
Another excellent thriller based on a storyline by Alistair MacLean. It is one of the sries of books telling about the Strike Force One of the UNACO. The action takes place in Europe as a train with a nuclear bomb as a cargo is racing to it's deadly destination, while the UN agents are trying to stop it. An excellent thriller with unexpected twists and a great ending.

Garbage!
I have read ALL of Alistair MacLean's novels, multiple times, and am also a five-time-published author. I don't know who "Alastair MacNeill" is but his writing is horrible and he and the publisher (and anyone else involved in allowing Mr. MacLean's name to be remotely attached to this trash) should be flogged. With all of the good writers out there trying to find...

This review is from: ALISTAIR MACLEAN'S DEATH TRAIN. (Paperback)
I have read ALL of Alistair MacLean's novels, multiple times, and am also a five-time-published author. I don't know who "Alastair MacNeill" is but his writing is horrible and he and the publisher (and anyone else involved in allowing Mr. MacLean's name to be remotely attached to this trash) should be flogged. With all of the good writers out there trying to find publishers, how in the world did this hack get a contract?

A MacLean to Skip,

This review is from: Alistair MacLean's Death Train (Mass Market Paperback)
It says in this book that the story was "conceived" by Alistair MacLean and completed after his death. He might have thought of the name, but any other contribution is invisible. The book nears a record level of linguistic and factual gaffes per page which make the weak characters, predictable plot and ridiculous "action" even more disappointing.
Read his first major work, ^HMS Ulysses^and see if you think the same hand could have done that gripping story and this piece of junk. |
