About this listen

Almost before the last echoes of the famous guns have died away, the three Navarone heroes are parachuted into war-torn Yugoslavia to rescue a division of partisans and fulfil a secret mission, so deadly that it must be hidden even from their own allies.

Critic reviews

''Could hardly be bettered.'' ( Sunday Times)
''Its strength comes from the speed of its narrative, its vivid creation of tensions and its power in handling descriptions of action.'' ( Evening Standard)
''Action sustained at a high pitch. From the outset there is a feeling of suspense: a problem that can only be solved by action involving danger and demanding courage...an insistently gripping tale.'' ( Scotsman)

Was good, but wasn't as good as titles like ice station zebra from this author. A bit of a cobbled together add-on to the guns from navarone. Still good enough for a listen though.

Not the same as some other books of the author

Another brilliant story from MacLean and very ably performed. I hope there's more to come.

Brilliant

I saw both movies before reading the books. Without doubt, the Force 10 From Navarone novel, is infinitely better than what became a very lazy adaptation. The setting, the storyline, the fact that Andrea is in the novel.

I love the chemistry between the 3 main characters. The twists and turns and a great way to end MacLean's journey with them.

Much better than the film adaptation.

A rollicking good romp though the War in Yugoslavia, a little far fetched but races along at a good pace to a climactic ending

MacLean at his best
