Just finished reading “Bear Island” by Alistair Maclean my favourite author. Dr. Marlowe is a doctor on board a fishing trawler Morning Rose which is headed towards Bear Island in Barents Sea for some film shooting of which nobody knows what the script is about. Enroute, the film crew start getting murdered one after another in mysterious circumstances. The plot gets murkier when the crew lands on the inhospitable and alien Bear Island and the murders continue. Written in first person narrative, Maclean gradually lets the suspense out one after another taking the story to some connection in post war Europe. A gripping enthralling book, a typically pot boiler by Alistair Maclean. Rating 5/5 – Highly Recommended

When Eight Bells Toll
Just finished reading "When Eight Bells Toll" a gripping sea thriller from Alistair Maclean, who is one of my favorite writers. Maclean unleashes the suspense in the end but keeps letting in the secret bit by bit as the story unfolds, the big one coming in the end.

The Golden Gate
Just finished reading "The Golden Gate" by Alistair Maclean. What can you say about this writer. He's amazing with a penchant for detail like no other. Yet another wonderful book from Maclean, my third of him. I've read "Athabasca" & "When Eight Bells Toll".

Athabasca
Just finished reading "Athabasca" by Alistair Maclean, a writer who was much famous during my college days. This is my first by him and it is a good racy thriller based on the oil industry in Alaska and Canada.
