Athabasca

Red quarter-cloth over black boards, gold lettering, map of northwest Canada and Alaska on pastedowns, 326 pp. Slight spine slant, corners bumped, slight edge wear, light mark diagonally across front board. Edges of pastedowns and end papers near the hinges are faded and there is a disparaging comment by previous owner on front end paper. Text is clean and bright with the top corner creased on a few pages. Jacket in new Brodart, price clipped, spine sunned, minor edge wear and soiling, some chipping at top and base of spine and corners, small tears along top and bottom of front flap. "Beyond America's northernmost frontier, amid the frozen oil-rich tar sands of Athabasca, comes this headlong tale of blackmail, kidnapping, and murder - and of ruthless men who attempt to hold hostage the Alaskan pipeline itself. . . "
Alistair MacLean is good form, displaying his penchant for snow-covered techno-thrillers, set in both Canada and Alaska.; 7" - 9" Tall
