Alistair MacLean · 1968 · thriller

Alistair MacLean's 1968 sequel to The Guns of Navarone. Their famous mission barely over, Mallory, Miller and Andrea are flown to Italy and parachuted into the frozen mountains of Nazi-occupied Yugoslavia. Amid Partisans, Chetniks and double agents, their true target is a great dam above a gorge - to be blown apart to drown a German armoured division in a wall of water.
