Desmond Bagley was one of the high masters of the modern suspense novel; his beautifully crafted tales of action and intrigue were bestsellers around the world. "I've read all Bagley's books," Alistair MacLean once remarked. "I think he's better than I am." Reviewing Bagley's career, the Birmingham Post wrote, "Some of our best-known thriller writers are very unpredictable and produce work of uneven quality, but Desmond Bagley is an author who is never off form."
Bagley left two complete unpublished novels at the time of his death in 1983. The first, Night of Error, was published in February 1987 to rave reviews (see the back of the jacket). The second, Juggernaut, is certain to earn the same high praise.
The juggernaut is a gigantic tractor-trailer—as long as a football field, it weighs 550 tons. Its task is to transport a massive electrical transformer through the oil-rich West African country of Nyala.

The juggernaut is a gigantic tractor-trailer—as long as a football field, it weighs 550 tons. Its task is to transport a massive electrical transformer through the oil-rich West African country of Nyala.
American troubleshooter Neil Mannix leads the convoy on its journey—which becomes a perilous odyssey when Nyala erupts in civil war. The juggernaut becomes a mobile hospital for civilians and soldiers, a means of escape, and a symbol of hope for the hundreds of refugees who pour out of their villages to travel alongside it. And inevitably, as the war becomes more desperate, the juggernaut becomes a target.
Once again in Juggernaut, Desmond Bagley delivers a swift, action-packed yarn with unerring skill. Vissza
