Title : The Year of the Tiger - Jack Higgins - Book
Summary :
1960. A clandestine plane flies over the Ladakh mountain range and stealthily lands on a Tibetan plateau. On board, Paul Chavasse, an English secret agent, prepares for the most perilous mission of his career: to bring back alive the elderly Professor Hoffner, a brilliant mathematician who has chosen to open a dispensary there for the benefit of the poor, unaware that he holds scientific data crucial to the conquest of space.
Chinese soldiers, Soviet enemy brothers, villagers dazed by terror and propaganda, informers, torturers, first and foremost the ruthless and cynical Colonel Li: these are the protagonists of the game during which Chavasse will go through trials worse than anything he could have imagined...
Along with an excellent thriller, the novelist of Exocet and Dangerous Terrain gives us here a powerful and authentic picture of the Tibetan tragedy.
