Force 10 from Navarone is Alistair MacLean’s high-octane sequel to his bestselling wartime thriller The Guns of Navarone. Returning heroes Captain Mallory, Andrea and Miller are assigned a covert mission behind enemy lines in Yugoslavia during World War II. What begins as a simple sabotage operation soon spirals into a tangled web of deception.
The team must navigate treacherous mountain terrain, outmanoeuvre German forces, infiltrate Partisan units, and survive double-crosses as they fight to carry out a mission crucial to the Allied cause.
MacLean blends action, tension and unexpected twists, crafting one of his most popular adventure novels—later adapted into a 1978 film starring Harrison Ford, Robert Shaw and Edward Fox.
Collins first editions of MacLean’s major titles remain highly collectible.
Force 10 from Navarone is one of the author’s most famous works due to the popularity of the Navarone series and the film adaptation.
Copies with intact dust jackets are increasingly scarce in strong condition.
A desirable addition for collectors of 1960s British thrillers and wartime fiction.
