Critics Review

  • ‘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

    ‘Bagley is a master storyteller.’ DAILY MIRROR

    ‘Mr Bagley has no equal at this sort of thing.’ SUNDAY MIRROR

    ‘Bagley is one of the best.’ THE TIMES
