FLYAWAY
I~.1111
The disappearance of Paul Billson??? clerk in an engineering firm???
seemed a minor matter to Max Stafford??? head of the outside con-
sultants responsible for security. Personal rather than security rea-
sons seemed to be involved-until 7outine enquiries about Billson
resulted in Stafford himself being ~ beaten up. If the attack was
meant as a warning it failed in its p~rpose??? for Stafford had a bull-
dog streak. He was determined now to know who and what lay
behind it. He decided to go after Billson himself.
Billson had impulsively taken off for the Sahara??? where his air
ace father had crashed during the London-Cape Town air race of
1936. A recent newspaper smear implied he had survived to profit
from an insurance swindle. Now his unstable son was intent on
finding the plane wreck to clear his father s name??? and someone
else was determined he should never find it. What secret did the
forty-year-old wreck contain?
For Stafford??? aided by an enigmatic American who had made
the desert his home??? it became a race to reach Paul Billson before
/aired killers did; a race to locate the wrecked plane and solve the
mystery; a race to return alive.
Exciting desert action??? fine descriptive writing and charac-
terization??? and an exotic setting combine to make this one of
super-storyteller Desmond Bagley s best adventure novels yet.
