Flyaway

By: Desmond Bagley

Narrated by: Paul Tyreman

Action thriller by the classic adventure writer about security consultant, Max Stafford, set in the Sahara.

Why is Max Stafford, security consultant, beaten up in his own office? What is the secret of the famous 1930s aircraft, the Lockheed Lodestar?

The journey to the Sahara desert becomes a race to save Paul Bilson, a race to find the buried aircraft, and – above all – a race to return alive…

Ripping Yarn

I think this is Bagley's best. Makes me want to go to the Sahara and see all the places in the story.

They don't write them like this anymore!

A wonderful mystery/adventure story with delightful descriptive passages about the desert and its denizens. Bagley was a master!

A wonderful classic adventure thriller

Adventures don’t get any better than those written by Desmond Bagley. Flyaway was one of his best. I am so pleased to see Audible bring these kinds of classic adventure books out!
