British author Bagley was an effortless master of the compelling action-packed thriller free from gratuitous sex and violence. This posthumous novel has the elements of credible characters, meticulous research, and complex plot that together were the hallmark of his previous best sellers. Mike Trevelyan, an English oceanographer, learns that his brother has died in suspicious circumstances while prospecting in the South Pacific. When an attempt is made to steal the few effects shipped back to the family he decides to investigate. With a crew of ex-commandos and the backing of a Canadian tycoon an expedition is launched to investigate the death and look for the rich mineral deposits the brother had apparently discovered. The result is sustained excitement complete with international villains, natural and unnatural disasters, and an exciting twist of a conclusion. John North, LRC, Ryerson Polytechnical Inst., Toronto
