Books by Raymond Benson
“The premise is that there’s a plane that was crashed into the top of a mountain and there’s something on it that both the heroes and the bad guys want. Who is going to win? It’s an exciting story because it’s a race. There are different parties trying to get to the top of the mountain. Bond is climbing with other people, some of whom might not wish him well.
