On the 250th anniversary of Captain Cook’s successful navigation to the coast of Australia, this is Alistair MacLean’s absorbing story of one of Britain’s great national heroes, from his obscure beginnings to his sudden and violent death at the age of fifty-one.

When James Cook was hacked to death by Hawaiian islanders on 14 February 1779, he was already considered the greatest explorer of his age. Born in obscurity but gripped by a boundless passion for new horizons, he became the greatest combination of seaman, explorer, navigator, and cartographer that the world had ever known. He still is. He had driven himself mercilessly, and his men likewise, and yet the surgeon’s mate on the Resolution was able to write: ‘In every situation he stood unrivalled and alone; on him all eyes were turned; he was our leading star, which at its setting left us involved in darkness and despair’.

Between 1768 and 1779, Captain Cook circumnavigated the globe three times in voyages of discovery that broke record after record of exploration, endurance, and personal achievement. He explored and charted the coasts of New Zealand, landed in Botany Bay, explored the Pacific, mapped its islands, and travelled further south than any man before him; he explored the Great Barrier Reef and travelled thousands of miles north to tackle the North-West Passage. He excelled in all aspects of his craft and inspired in his men an affection for him and an enthusiasm for his undertakings that provoked constant loyalty and unfailing endeavour in frequently savage conditions.

Alistair MacLean presents a graphic and lively account of this great explorer, his three amazing voyages and the adventures that befell him, his crews, and his ships in lands that until he sailed were in many cases unknown. Cook’s life was a resounding success and the story of it is a thrilling exemplification of his own description of himself as a man ‘who had ambition not only to go farther than anyone had done before, but as far as it was possible for man to go’.

The thrilling sequel to Alistair MacLean's masterpiece of World War II adventure, The Guns of Navarone. Now reissued in a new cover style.

The guns of Navarone have been silenced, but the heroic survivors have no time to rest on their laurels. Almost before the last echoes of the famous guns have died away, Keith Mallory, Andrea and Dusty Miller are parachuting into war-torn Yugoslavia to rescue a division of Partisans … and to fulfil a secret mission, so deadly that it must be hidden from their own allies.

Новое задание, порученное британским диверсантам Киту Мэллори и Дасти Миллеру, забросит их в заснеженную долину реки Неретва, где среди гор и лесов Югославии поредевшая партизанская армия сдерживает натиск немецких танков. Группе Мэллори приказано взорвать бдительно охраняемую плотину, но основная миссия группы держится в строгой тайне, а события развиваются далеко не по плану...

Во льдах сурового Ледовитого океана терпит бедствие Полярная станция "Зет". Пожар, возникший на ее территории, погубил половину сотрудников, оставив уцелевших без тепла, пищи и света. На помощь пострадавшим спешит американская атомная субмарина "Дельфин", которой предстоит выполнить смертельно опасную спасательную операцию. А вскоре выясняется, что станция сгорела вовсе не случайно...

Вторая мировая война в разгаре. Открытие англо-американс­кого фронта может приблизить ее развязку. Чтобы вызволить из немецкого плена американского генерала, владеющего секретной информацией, в неприступные Альпы направляет­ся группа тренированных британских спецов, среди которых оказываются двойные агенты... Сюжет настолько насыщен захватывающими погонями, схватками, неожиданными пово­ротами, что роман читается на одном дыхании.

Напряженность сюжета яркого, захватывающего боевика Алистера Маклина не даст вам отвлечься от чтения ни на ми­нуту, а невероятные ситуации, в которые попадают участники военной операции, в очередной раз докажут: люди, обладающие мужеством, решимостью и следующие законам чести мо­гут справиться с любыми испытаниями и победить во что бы то ни стало.

Книга основана на реальных событиях: во время Второй мировой войны английский морской конвой должен был доставить в Мурманск военную технику и горючее. Бушующий ледяной океан, продирающий до костей мороз, вахты под бомбами и снарядами, потоки человеческой крови и сотни трупов; каждый из героев романа может умереть в любую секунду... В таких экстремальных условиях проявляются мужество, верность боевому долгу, благородство и настоящие мужские характеры участников смертельной экспедиции.

With enormous skill the atmosphere is built up: Amsterdam with its canals and high houses; stolid police; psychopaths; women in distress and above all – murder.

Роман Алистера Маклина на первый взгляд продолжает традицию английской `пиратской` литературы. Разница в том, что современные морские хищники действуют гораздо более изощренно, а ставки в игре намного выше: на карту поставлена судьба многомиллионных сокровищ.

Около полярной станции в Гренландии аварийно садится пассажирский самолёт, на борту которого — агенты враждебного НАТО блока, похитившие новейшее электронное оборудование, стремящиеся добраться до своего траулера и убивающие всех, кто встает на пути.
