This Blog is a companion to my author's Blog and my writing practice Blog. As a writer, I try to read regularly to improve my own writing and learn from other writers. While these reviews are my personal opinion, I do try to be as objective as possible. I will try to provide useful links along the way. Originally, I intended to set up with Amazon, but I don't get enough traffic for them to show any interest. That may change someday, but I'm not holding my breath. If you like my content and have the means, consider supporting the site by buying me a coffee. The button for that is in the sidebar.

The Guns of Navarone

 


By Alistair MacLean
5 Stars
Action/Adventure/Suspense
Adult

Keith Mallory has been chosen to lead a small team of commandos to destroy an impossible target in an effort to clear the way for the Navy to rescue more than a thousand soldiers who are in peril. His team includes Dusty Miller, an explosives and sabotage expert, Casey Brown, an engineer, Andy Stevens, a mountain climber like Mallory, and Andrea, a seemingly indestructible Greek soldier who seems to get bigger and stronger as the story unfolds.

They encounter setbacks and obstacles at every turn. Physical barriers, enemy soldiers, and enemy spies. Once it gets going, the book is a page turner and is very hard to put down. For me, this is a reread. I read it when I was in high school. Now I have my own private copy for my personal library. 

This book made me a fan of Alistair MacLean. I would happily read all his books if I had the time. This one comes highly recommended.
