One of my favorite authors in the 60's through 80's.
Alistair MacLean wrote some of the old standards: The Guns of Navarone, Ice Station Zebra, Where Eagles Dare, Breakheart Pass, River of Death, etc.
Santorini was his last novel, written in 1986 and he died in 1987, only 64 years old. The book was published by his estate after his death.
You got me wanting to find the old books and read them again. Want to see if they have the same excitement as they did when they first were written.
