A team of British Special Forces commandos parachutes into the high peaks of the Austrian Alps with the mission of stealing into an invulnerable alpine castle—accessible only by aerial gondola—the headquarters of Nazi intelligence. Supposedly sent in to rescue one of their own, their real mission turns out to be a lot more complicated—and the tension climbs as team members start to die off, one by one. Written by Alistair Maclean, author of the Guns of Navarone, this is the novel that set the pace for the modern action thriller (the film version, with Richard Burton and Clint Eastwood, also helped), and it still packs twice the punch of most contemporary best-selling thrillers. What's more, the cast of spooks, turncoats, and commandos who drive this story are more relevant than ever in our new era of special forces, black ops, and unpredictable alliances. 2781685 1967 Where Eagles Dare (Adrenaline Classics Series) total:437|5:140|4:171|3:114|2:10|1:2| 437 1748 536 27 4 0 false true Thu Nov 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Fri May 22 07:39:55 -0700 2009 Fri May 22 07:41:20 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Wed Feb 25 08:20:22 -0800 2009 Wed Feb 25 08:33:07 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Wed Jun 17 22:32:32 -0700 2009 Wed Jun 17 22:36:04 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1973 Sat Jan 17 04:47:32 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 17 04:49:20 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Sun Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1967 Thu Dec 11 14:38:15 -0800 2008 Thu Dec 11 14:39:39 -0800 2008 1 Tense and heart pou8nding action as a group of commandos try to capture a nazi intelligence station high in the Alps.
