Book Description
Geologist, Bob Boyd, who works in British Columbia timber country, has no memory of his past following a terrible accident, which only he survived. Hired by the powerful Matterson Corporation to survey land before they build a great new dam, he begins to uncover the shaky foundations of the Matterson family and becomes a fly in their ointment. Matters are complicated when he falls in love with Claire Trinavant, the last link to a forgotten family whose name strikes a mysteriously resonant chord.
About the Author
Celebrated for his fast-paced stories and attention to detail, thriller writer Desmond Bagley was born in the Lake District and spent his early working life in the aircraft industry, before his adventurous spirit took him on an exciting road trip to South Africa, where he settled as a freelance journalist and film critic. His first novel, The Golden Keel was an instant success, and he went on to write a further fifteen gripping stories, which have been translated into more than 20 languages.

Great way to fill a holiday!
9. Juni 2003
Format:Taschenbuch
Back in the 1960s and even 1970s, Desmond Bagley was easily one of the best thriller writers around. As a rule, his books tend to be short and to the point, filled with action and marked with innovative ideas. Landslide is one of my personal favorites which I suddenly stumbled upon after many years. Set in a "company town" in north America, this is a story of dominant business families and cowed townspeople which awakes when a stranger named Boyd arrives in town (Yes, you might almost say this is a classic Western novel!!). Recovering from a bad car accident and attendant amnesia, Boyd happens on the town by chance, then stays on as dim memory flickers make him realize he has been a part of it before - to what extent, his memory cannot say. In true "Western" fashion of course, the crimes are solved and he gets the beautiful girl as well. The story itself is very well told with Boyd as the narrator and the climactic collapse of the dam is every bit startling as it is educative. Great way to fill a holiday!

One of the best by a fine author.

Desmond Bagley is one of the best action/adventure writers around, and this is one of his best novels. Not as good as "Running Blind" or "Wyatt's Hurricane", but on a par with "High Citadel", "Snow Tiger", "The Bahama Crisis", and "The Freedom Trap", this book, like many of his stories, not only has fast-paced action and plausible, very realistic characters, it also has some interesting information in the background. I've learned a lot from reading Bagley's novels, (in this case, about the geology of quick clay) all the while being thoroughly entertained.
His best?

I have always had a fondness for the work of Desmond Bagley and for this book in particular.
We have the story of a young man coming to a small town and the name of the town's park triggers long-forgotten memories of a car crash and terrible burns.
Bob Boyd is a man with only a short past, he was involved in a car crash where three people died and he ended up with amnesia of his life prior to the crash. Boyd comes to the town looking for answers and strikes a strange cover-up.
This is a typical Bagley book, it is not tremendously fanciful but sticks to the basic tenet of good adventure writing - that is, action and understandable storylines.
Bagley wrote of the common man and did not believe in long drawn-out sagas, his work was generally under 300 pages.
This may be his best book, Landslide has the lot - adventure, romance, mystery....
