Condition remarks:

A taut thriller set against the volatile backdrop of Caribbean Cold War politics, Shooting Script puts bush pilot Keith Carr at the centre of a dangerous assignment that quickly spirals beyond his control. Gavin Lyall crafts a gripping narrative where flying jobs and revolutionary intrigue intersect, pulling his reluctant hero deeper into a world of guns, mercenaries, and betrayal. Written with the sharp, unsentimental prose that made Lyall one of Britain's finest adventure writers of the 1960s, the novel moves at a relentless pace without sacrificing character depth or authenticity. Lyall draws on his own experience as an RAF pilot and journalist to ground every cockpit scene and political manoeuvre in convincing detail, making Shooting Script as credible as it is compelling.
