About this listen

A classic thriller from the bestselling master of action and suspense.

The atomic submarine Dolphin has impossible orders: to sail beneath the ice floes of the Arctic Ocean, and somehow locate and rescue the men of weather-station Zebra, gutted by fire and drifting with the ice-pack somewhere north of the Arctic Circle.

But the orders do not say what the Dolphin will find if she succeeds – that the fire at Ice Station Zebra was sabotage, and that one of the survivors is a killer.

A very well read audiobook, Michael Jayston really brings the story to life and the suspense holds up extremely well right up until the end.

very enjoyable audiobook

Much original dialogue has been cut out diminishing warmth & camaraderie between the main characters.

Rushed version ruins Macleans story.

A great tale well told, good performance all round. Michael Jayston fills out the characters easily.

Another brilliant thriller from the master

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
It’s just a pity that this recording is spoiled by the addition of the totally inappropriate and unnecessary “dramatic” music

One of Maclean’s best
