Goodbye California

The reign of terror began with a well planned heist at a nuclear power station. Then came the threat-from a man known only as Morro-to trigger an earthquake that would wash the entire state of California into the sea.

Who was this man and what did he want?

Detective Sergeant Ryder, whose wife had been taken hostage by the terrorists, began his own campaign of terror-a campaign that led to the down-to-the-wire race to reach the destruct button before Morro did....

The Guns Of Navarone

THE MISSION WAS IMPOSSIBLE!

An entire navy had tried to silence the guns of Navarone and failed. Full-scale attacks had been driven back. Now they were sending in just five men, but each of them a specialist in dealing death.

This book may well be the most enthralling novel to come out of the Second World War.

H.M.S. Ulysses

UNFORGETTABLE

The story of men who rose to heroism, and then to something greater, H.M.S. Ulysses takes its place alongside The Caine Mutiny and The Cruel Sea as one of the classic novels of the navy, its men and its ships, at war.

Ice Station Zebra

The Dolphin, pride of America's nuclear fleet, is the only submarine capable of attempting the daring rescue of a British meteorological team trapped on a polar ice cap.

The officers aboard the Dolphin know well the hazards of such an assignment. What they do not know is that the rescue attempt is really a cover-up for one of the most desperate espionage missions of the Cold War-and that the Dolphin is heading straight for sub-zero disaster-facing hidden sabotage, murder...and a deadly, invisible enemy....

The Lonely Sea

As millions of readers know, what is so special about the work of Alistair MacLean is his extraordinary evocation of the power and lure of the sea, and the incredible courage and endurance of the men for whom it is life. MacLean is such a man. He knows and loves the sea, and he understands the seafaring life because he has lived it.

Thirty years after the publication of his first book, collected here for the first time are one master author's stories of the sea. They include his very first prizewinning achievement, a haunting tale of the love an old seaman bears his two sons-a love so great that he takes an old fishing boat out in a terrifying storm, risking his and his crew's lives, in order to rescue them.

There are stories of wartime battles, of rescues from sinking ships, of gunboat espionage. There are tales of the characters who sail the sea, the captain with his prized gold watch, the shifty jewel smuggler, the heroin dealer-brilliant, compelling stories, a treasury of vintage MacLean.

Night Without End

Snow-White... Blood-Red

Seconds ago the passengers were sitting in the cozy security of their pressurized cabin with a controlled temperature of 70°. Then the crash, the tearing, jagged screeching as the plane ripped along the ice and snow. The tidal wave of the dreadful cold, 40° below zero, swept in and engulfed the survivors-the dazed, the injured, the unconscious and the dying-as they sat in the crumpled wreckage of their seats, wearing only thin suits and dresses.

And so began the terrible arctic night, a night without end, where the darkness would bring with it murder and betrayal and cowardice. And the chilling knowledge that among them was a ruthless agent determined to carry out his desperate mission.

Partisans

Although he prefers the simple, direct life, Major Peter Petersen's life is far from simple.

Against the backdrop of the Balkan Peninsula during World War II, Peter leads a commando force to deliver a vital message to the Partisans. Peter knows it won't be a smooth operation. That sixth sense a veteran acquires warns him of a set-up. His orders reek of double cross and deception.

All the surprises and twists that have become the hallmark of a MacLean story are here in an atmosphere of intrigue, danger, and uparalleled suspense.

Then a bunch of cute Olde Worlde hay dancers went for him with pitchforks.

Then he got mixed up with some macabre puppet makers.

It was a Netherlands nightmare-and no waking up.
