I thoroughly enjoyed this Desmond Bagley audiobook. The story was easy to follow and well paced. I could have picked holes in the plot but was so carried along by the tale that those flaws just didn't seem to matter. Bagley knew how to spin a good yarn, I look forward to listening to his other books.
