With these four gripping novels, Trevanian has proven himself a master of suspense. As he weaves his tales of death and danger, of action and mystery, he generates an explosive edge-of-the-seat excitement that few writers can match.

In The Eiger Sanction, Trevanian's highly acclaimed first novel, Jonathan Hemlock, mountain climber and professional assassin, is tricked into a most hazardous assignment that involves an attempt to conquer and scale one of the most treacherous mountain peaks in the Swiss Alps, the Eiger.

Hemlock's highly skilled services are required in The Loo Sanction to recover a set of films incriminating high-ranking British officials. Drawn into a labyrinthine network of intrigue, he must attempt one of the most daring escapes ever conceived.

In another masterful achievement in suspense, police lieutenant Claude LaPinte must solve a grotesque murder as he undertakes a strange journey through The Main, Montreal's dangerous immigrant district.

In Shibumi, Nicholai Hel uses his nearly superhuman mental and physical prowess to destroy political terrorists. His wild series of globe-spanning adventures demonstrates why he is considered the world's most dangerous man.

Rich and thoroughly entertaining, these four superbly written novels prove Trevanian to be one of the most compelling writers of suspense today.

not just 5 stars5 Billion Stars Shibumi is - I have no words, just surges of pure joy. It is like oxygen and sunshine. My annual summer read since I was 17, and never fails to impress, entertain, surprise and delight. 5 infinity stars. Eiger is great, the rest and great - Shibumi is life.

Includes four novels. Shibumi is the best (intriguing examination of Japanese vs Western culture set in the mode of a Go game). The Eiger Sanction is also good. They are all filled with 1970s cynicism, esp of the government. (Think counter-culture, Watergate, and anti-Vietnam.) In addition to the plots, they make an interesting study of 1970s culture and liberal thought.

I had previously read Shibumi and The Eiger Sanction, and have now added The Loo Sanction and The Main to my list of Trevanian books. Love them. Read w/a dictionary handy. Plan to watch the Clint Eastwood movie version of Eiger Sanction tonight.
