The classic World War II thriller from the acclaimed master of action and suspense.

One winter night, seven men and a woman are parachuted onto a mountainside in wartime Germany. Their objective: an apparently inaccessible castle, headquarters of the Gestapo. Their mission: to rescue a crashed American general before the Nazi interrogators can force him to reveal secret D-day plans.

Critic reviews

"A real humdinger. The best MacLean." ( Daily Mirror)
"There is a splendid audacity about Where Eagles Dare, in which a handful of British agents invade an 'impenetrable' Gestapo command post...MacLean offers a real dazzler of a thriller, with vivid action, fine set pieces of suspense and a virtuoso display of startling plot twists." ( The New York Times)

Even though I knew a lot of what was coming (from the movie), it was still suspenseful. While I myself couldn't remotely consider attempting such heroics, I can certainly lose myself in the story and believe in the heroes' resilience and stamina ... this is what I read books for!
The movie was good, but as usual - the book is better; besides, it lasts longer! 😁

He did write good stories

It's a tremendous story with solid dialogue, really painted a beautiful description of the Bavarian region.

Excellent German and English accents from the voice actors!

Great story. McClain's best. High adventure at Gestopo headquarters. Impossible odds. Death from every direction.

this book is great!, at this time iv listened to it at least 5 times, the writing style is good with a lot of humor hidden here and there, it keeps you on the edge of your seat (even tho your listing to a book) the voice acting is awesome as well, i had seen the movie and herd about the book so i thought id give it a chance, i haven't regretted that decision one bit.

if u liked the movie, this is even better!

Fantastic story. I questioned the performance in the beginning but then I realized his voice was perfect for this story. It gave a realistic feel to the whole setting.

Awesome!
