Two masterworks of pulse-pounding suspense are united in this gripping omnibus edition by one of Britain's most celebrated thriller writers. In Juggernaut, a massive convoy transporting a giant transformer through war-torn West Africa becomes a deadly game of survival when political upheaval, treacherous terrain, and armed conflict conspire against engineer Neil Mannix and his crew. In High Citadel, a hijacked aircraft is forced down in the remote, frozen peaks of the Andes, and the passengers — led by a disgraced pilot — must fight off relentless attackers using only medieval ingenuity and desperate courage. Desmond Bagley was a grandmaster of the action-adventure thriller, renowned for his meticulous research, vivid geographical authenticity, and razor-sharp plotting that keeps readers gripped from the first page to the last. Both novels illustrate his signature style: ordinary men thrust into extraordinary danger, pitting human resilience against overwhelming odds in some of the world's most inhospitable landscapes. Together, they present a showcase of his finest work — a testament to why Bagley remains essential reading for any devotee of the classic thriller. Will survival instinct alone be enough when civilisation itself is stripped away?
