Alistair MacLean
Bruno Wildermann of the Wrinfield Circus is the world’s greatest trapeze artist, a clairvoyant with near-supernatural powers and an implacable enemy of the East European regime that arrested his family and murdered his wife.
The CIA needs such a man, and recruits Bruno for an impossible raid – on the impreganble Lubylan fortress, where his family is held.
Under cover of a circus tour, Bruno prepares to return to his homeland. But before the journey even begins a murderer strikes twice. Somewhere in the circus there is a communist agent with orders to stop Bruno at any cost…

The narration was very good.
As compared to other Maclean books, this one has too fantastical a story and too much of a superhuman as the protagonist. Atypical of Maclean’s heroes, Bruno does not get beaten up, doesn’t go through any tragedy, does not fail. Even his tragedy in the past is underplayed.
The story could have been tighter,
Like Breakhart Pass or Night Without End. There wasn’t enough drama, emotion, or heartbreak as compared to other books.
Good narration. But as far as the book goes, Ok, but not the greatest Maclean book

Great story, wish the narrator was different.
