Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From AudioFile
Great fare for fans of the fast pace of undercover wartime operations from authors such as Helen MacInnis, Eric Ambler or Hammond Innis. Sam Llewellyn has recreated the British secret service's heroes from the siege of Navarone and given them a new mission in the Pyrenees. Steven Pacey conveys every dicey maneuver and breath-holding moment with the keenest sense of timing and driving action. Pacey colors the small band of commandos, villagers and patriots with sure characterizations, not only making it easy to follow dialogue but making listeners care about each man. For thriller fans who long for a little less mayhem and more heroic characters, select this for sure attention-grabbing listening for the next trip--great attraction for teens, too. R.F.W.

Do not try to imitate something so great as MacLean!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Storm Force from Navarone: The Sequel to Alistair Maclean's Force 10 from Navarone (Paperback)
Imagine the thrill you must feel, picking up a new book by your favorite authou now long gone. You open the book, but after the first chapter, you are utterly disappointed. Sam Llewelyn has abused the good name and memory of Alistair Maclean to his own profits by trying to imitate one of the worlds greatest writers in crime and suspence. There are no points in the book, they are never shocking like the finalé in "Where Eagles Dare", and there is no suspence, since all they do are run from Germans. And to make the Germans shoot people just to get some sort of effect is also abusing the way MacLean wrote his novels. Stay away from this book, but if you want to read the horror to yourself, pleace, borrow it on the library, so you don't have to spend money on that attrap.
