About this listen

From the acclaimed master of action and suspense. The all time classic.

An airliner crashes in the polar ice-cap. In temperatures 40 degrees below zero, six men and four women survive.

But for the members of a remote scientific research station who rescue them, there are some sinister questions to answer – the first one being, who shot the pilot before the crash?

Good story. Not the best narrator. You can see where Ice Station Zebra develop from.

Good story

This is an exceptional early work by Alistair Maclean, believably describing a hazardous 1959 trek across the Greenland ice cap, in a failing pre-war tractor and in the company of an unidentified murderer or murderers, in possession of a stolen Cold War secret. Great stuff! Why they never made a movie out of it while they could (i.e. before woke and inclusivity) I cannot imagine.

Literally, a chilling thriller!

You know what to expect with an Alistair McLean novel and this novel delivers it in spades. Great story with genuine suspense and really well paced.

One of the best McLean stories

A spy thriller that throughout,the listener can feel the intense cold, feel the frostbite, feel the despair that the characters are experiencing for themselves. A gripping storyline throughout right up until the last word. Brilliantly narrated. A first class audible book.
