About this listen

Almost before the last echoes of the famous guns have died away, the three Navarone heroes are parachuted into war-torn Yugoslavia to rescue a division of partisans and fulfil a secret mission, so deadly that it must be hidden even from their own allies.

Critic reviews

''Could hardly be bettered.'' ( Sunday Times)
''Its strength comes from the speed of its narrative, its vivid creation of tensions and its power in handling descriptions of action.'' ( Evening Standard)
''Action sustained at a high pitch. From the outset there is a feeling of suspense: a problem that can only be solved by action involving danger and demanding courage...an insistently gripping tale.'' ( Scotsman)

Much better than the film adaptation.

I saw both movies before reading the books. Without doubt, the Force 10 From Navarone novel, is infinitely better than what became a very lazy adaptation. The setting, the storyline, the fact that Andrea is in the novel.

I love the chemistry between the 3 main characters. The twists and turns and a great way to end MacLean's journey with them.

Not the same as some other books of the author

Was good, but wasn't as good as titles like ice station zebra from this author. A bit of a cobbled together add-on to the guns from navarone. Still good enough for a listen though.

MacLean at his best

A rollicking good romp though the War in Yugoslavia, a little far fetched but races along at a good pace to a climactic ending

Complicated plot

Overall a great story, however I found the plot at times difficult to follow, and a bit incoherent. The latter chapters are exciting and more absorbing than earlier parts that required more of an effort.
