High Citadel by Desmond Bagley
The survivors of an air crash in the remote Andes must evade capture when communist soldiers are sent to kill one of the high-profile passengers - and the rest of them... When Tim O'Hara's plane was hijacked and forced to crash land in the middle of the Andes, his troubles were only beginning. For a heavily armed group of communist soldiers intent on killing one of his passengers - and influential political figure - have orders to leave no survivors. Isolated in the biting cold of the Andes, O'Hara's party must fight for their lives with only the most primitive weapons...'Bagley has become a master of the genre, a thriller writer of intelligence and originality' SUNDAY TIMES
'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
