An icy marvel of invention ... It is written with the panache of a master and with the wide-eyed exhilaration of an adventurer in the grip of discovery.

In the dying days of the British Empire, it seemed as thought the adventure novel would die with it. But Buchan and H Rider Haggard were succeeded by a storyteller of genius, Lionel Davidson. His tales of espionage suited the Sixties, his voice that of an angry young man. Kolymsky Heights, his masterpiece, is back in print. (Jake Kerridge Daily Telegraph)
Reseña del editor:
"The best thriller I've ever read." (Philip Pullman). With an introduction by Philip Pullman Kolymsky Heights. A frozen Siberian hell lost in endless night. The perfect location for an underground Russian research station. It's a place so secret it doesn't officially exist; once there, the scientists are forbidden to leave. But one scientist is desperate to get a message to the outside world. So desperate, he sends a plea across the wilderness to the West in order to summon the one man alive who can achieve the impossible..."Sensationally good. Cleverly conceived and brilliantly executed. One of the great thrillers of the last century." (Charles Cumming). "Hugely thrilling, brilliantly written, perfect for the beach. Like all the best holidays, I didn't want this book to end." (Anthony Horowitz, Telegraph).
