Enjoyed it just as much this time as the first. It may be my favorite book by MacLean, possibly because the lead characters have almost a Archie Goodwin/Nero Wolfe relationship.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15372275463362170621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3668066.post-5701134897577485342009-08-09T08:27:01.690-05:002009-08-09T08:27:01.690-05:00Even the books are a tough sell these days.
