    “MacLean was interested in writing stories with unreliable narrators which could lead to double & triple-twists in the storyline… From 1963–1971, MacLean wrote a series of near-perfect thrillers… which established him as the most successful author on the planet”

    “MacLean was Scottish and another thing I intuitively liked was that his heroes were mostly rough-hewed social nobodies formed by World War II and not on the playing fields of Eton like James Bond. I didn’t know much about British class snobbery then, but I sided with outsiders.”

    —Alessandra Stanley, “In Praise of Alistair MacLean & the Male Romance”
