I think I was about eleven years old and it made a lasting impression. I have re-read it a number of times over the years and it still keeps on pulling me in. It is a good book, and though history has made the story outdated, it still manages to capture at least my interest ( ) Written in 1977 Avalanche Express has for the most part stood the passage of time well. Whilst some parts reference radio direction finding and basic radio broadcasts to communicate and there's the stark absence of modern technology this in no way detracts from the mystery, action and intrigue. I found this to be much more enjoyable than the novels Tweed & Co series. Essentially the story involves an American plot to exfiltrate a highly placed Russian KGB operative who has been feeding them quality intelligence. All does not go to plan however when their cover is immediately blown and storms move in shutting down airports leading to a cat & mouse game on the 'Atlantic Express' Trans-Europe train. And yes, it does involve an avalanche. ### Product Description When the Atlantic Express heads north from Milan Central it has on board the most important Russian ever to leave the Soviet Union.
