Alistair MacLean (1922–1987) was a British writer, author of 28 action novels and adventure stories, and screenwriter. His name is widely known to readers around the world. McLean's books have sold more than 150 million copies, 18 films were shot on his novels, scripts and plots. In 1983, the University of Glasgow awarded him a doctorate in literary studies.
McLean’s heroes live and win across the globe, from communist Hungary and the Gulf of Mexico to Singapore, southern France, San Francisco, the Netherlands and the Arctic Ocean.
The flagship of this collection is the novel “Golden Gate”. The eponymous bridge in San Francisco, a miracle of engineering thought, is considered impregnable, from the point of view of even vigilant Faberians. Especially when a presidential motorcade passes through it. But for bad guys wanting to break the bank, nothing is impossible. . .
The head of the gang is obsessed with the idea of triggering a colossal earthquake and drowning the Golden State in the ocean (“Goodbye, California!”). The authorities are writing in their own impotence. Who will stop the rehearsal of the end of the world? .
The risk of traveling through the Amazon jungle can be justified if the goal is to search for an ancient civilization. Or stolen treasure. Or the kidnappers themselves (River of Death).
In the novel Circus, a magician with extraordinary abilities recruits the CIA to learn the secret formula of antimatter.
