Representaion To Books Night Without End

" . . . and I heard clearly, even above the gale, the sudden sharp sound of the [airplane] crash, the grinding tearing scream of metal being twisted and tortured out of shape. And then, abruptly, silence - a silence deep and still and ominous. The sound of wind in the darkness was no sound at all." -- page 15

Although once one of the bestselling and most popular authors of his time, Alistair MacLean's many suspense and adventure novels have fallen out of print, relegated to the racks at library fundraising sales or used book stores. In popular culture he's probably more remembered these days for those blockbuster movie versions in the 60's (Guns of Navarone, Where Eagles Dare, etc.) of his war stories.

Night Without End was a long-winded, wordy yarn about a three-man geological research team at a remote Greenland outpost intervening when a small commercial airplane crashes near their outpost. Rescuing the ten surviving occupants, the plot gets underway when the team's two-way radio set (the only means of outside communication, since this is firmly set in its published year of 1959) is mysteriously damaged beyond use. What follows then is Christie-like mystery of figuring out the perpetrator - a MacLean story hallmark, as there was usually a murderous saboteur in the mix - while also braving harsh Arctic weather on a journey to rendezvous with a military boat. It took me over a week to finish this paperback, as the characters were blandly stereotypical, and the protagonist / narrator would prattle on for paragraphs when a few punchier sentences would be more effective.

Criticize About Books Night Without End

When I was a lad, I very much liked Alistair MacLean novels. I was delighted to learn that they are now available on Nook. It is great to read some of his lesser known works, as opposed to Where Eagles Dare, Ice Station Zebra and The Guns of Navarone. My first re-introduction was Night Without End. The story concerns the crashing of a commercial airliner in the middle of the Greenland tundra and the attempts of the personnel of a meteorological weather station to save them. As with most MacLean

As Sluggish as a Pre-War Citroen Tractor at 40 BelowNight Without End had a lot of promise with a compelling scenario, exotic setting, and an appealing narrator. The first quarter or so of the book is page-turning and exciting. But once they set out on the tractor for the coast the book sputters and lurches along to an unsatisfying finish. Another Fawcett author of the era, Edward S. Aarons of the Assignment saga, kept his adventure stories at a taut 150-170 pages. Maclean's novel swelled to 224

I read this book when I was very young. And I think this was my first ever mature thriller. It was during the time when I was still caught up shifting from Goosebumps from R.L.Stine (written for 11-12 year olds) to Fear-street series from R.L.Stine (for 14-15 year olds-this is acc to my times, right now kids are are much smarter and probably would read heavier books than I did at a younger age than mine)Anyway, during this time I remember going through my school library, desperate for trying out

Good thriller.... Very good story... Hard to keep away at night.... I only have a problem with the printing company... The print is very fine... Difficult for the naked eye to read...

One of Alistair MacLean's earliest thrillers, it's a well-paced, page-turner. Perfect setting, the frigid Greenland ice sheet, a group of scientists rush to save the passengers of a plane which has crashed on the plateau. What they find is even more surprising as some of the passengers are more than they seem. struggling to survive in sub-zero temperatures and survive a murderer in their midst, it's definitely an action packed story. Excellent stuff.

From my review at http://AlistairMacLean.com:"Less complex and ambitious than some of his better-known works, this one follows a generally linear story line focused on a small group of characters. ... Maybe it's a case of 'simple pleasures for simple minds,' as my mother used to say, but this story's minimalist approach holds real appeal for me."Strengths include his canny psychological portrayals of characters and his ability to make you feel the cold dark climate. One weakness is an awkward
