 Amazon.com: Athabasca: Books: Alistair Maclean   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
The moment I realized "Athabasca" had to be one of the worst suspense books I ever read came when one of the heroes found himself chained to a steel ring set in concrete while a "dragline," in essence a giant tractor, is set in motion to run over him, very slowly.
The heroes don't act on their suspicions about which are the criminals as it would interfere with their drinking time, and when the evil gang is at last revealed, the big "A-ha" moment is considerably dampened by the fact they are mostly either obscure or unknown to the story as told to that point.
In essence, "Athabasca" is as torpid and unwieldy as that menacing dragline, and a poor representation of Maclean as one of the great adventure writers of his day.
