5.0 out of 5 stars a romantic thriller, December 21, 1999

By

This review is from: Flyaway (Paperback)

All most a poetic book, the story reflects the romanticism of a sandy desert. An engrossing story captures the imagination of the reader and sends him/her right into the wild, slow, serene yet harsh desert. Fast paced action starts from the first page in London spreads quickly to Sahara in search of a pre WW2 airplane with a hope of lost glory and comes back to London for the O'Henrian climax. The characters of the story are alive and easy to relate to and linger for a long time. One of the best and a must read. The best Bagley that I have read.

As with all of Desmond Bagley's books, this one has plenty of action and adventure, plenty of exotic locations that Bagley handles as if he'd lived there for his whole life, and interesting yet plausible characters handled deftly and smoothly; like almost all of his novels, this one also has a puzzle that keeps the reader guessing for the whole book. If there's a flaw with it at all, it's that he withholds a bit of the information that his main character has for just a chapter or two, so that the reader has no chance of solving the puzzle before the main character spells out the solution. But that's a small price to pay for this delightful book, and I highly recommend it as I do most of Bagley's ouvre.
