About this listen

Action thriller by the classic adventure writer set in Iceland.

The assignment begins with a simple errand – a parcel to deliver. But to Alan Stewart, standing on a deserted road in Iceland with a murdered man at his feet, it looks anything but simple. The desolate terrain is obstacle enough. But when Stewart realises he has been double-crossed and that the opposition is gaining ground, his simple mission seems impossible…

"Bagley is a master storyteller." ( Daily Mirror)

Critic reviews

'As long as meticulous craftsmanship and honest entertainment are valued, and as long as action, authenticity, and expertise still make up the strong framework of the good adventure/thriller, Desmond Bagley's books will surely be read.' REGINALD HILL, Twentieth Century Crime and Mystery Writers

I remember watching this when it came on TV, since I have read the book twice and now listen to the audio book. It's just brilliant and I'm sure I will watch, read or listen to it again.

Still as exciting forty years after first reading the novel! Very accomplished narrator - he added a real sense of excitement .

Great listen. The narrator’s butchered pronounciation of Icelandic names was quite confusing and made me wince a lot. However, if you aren’t familiar with how Icelandic actually sounds it shouldn’t be a problem. It was also a little jarring to have an Englishman cast as a Scot. Would have loved to hear Angus King read this. Still good though, and I always looked forwards to listening on. Recommended
