Customer Reviews

Above Average Thriller

Gavin Lyall's books are now largely out of print. This is a pity because he produced a number of very good espionage thrillers, mainly set during the Cold War. This book, one of three whose protagonist is a British Army officer named Harry Maxim, is typical of Lyall's output with clever plotting, solid characterization, and decent writing. Well worth a few dollars in a used book store or looking up in your local library.
