Anyway I bought my first McLean in with a batch of used paperbacks and stuffed it in my travel bag. I don't remember the title but I started reading it waiting at the airport. I got so deep in that book I almost missed my plane.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119105822589181967.post-20249665461353710852016-05-11T09:09:48.278-04:002016-05-11T09:09:48.278-04:00Great post, David.

Figuring out the character who wasn’t who he appeared to be was always a challange. Only a very few I don’t care for, mostly those set in California, mainly because his other novels set such a high bar.<br /><br />Navarone was the first novel of his I read when I was in grade school. I’ve seen some of the MacLean’s movies, even stumbled into one (Fear is the Key) in a mid-afternoon matinee. But… I don’t think I’ve ever seen Navarone. I have to correct that. And of course I enjoyed the article.Leigh Lundinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07921276795499571578noreply@blogger.com
