'In Deep' (never call it 'Whiteout!') is one of favourite novels and I endeavour to re-read it every couple of years. Duncan Kyle's thrillers were, without exception, thoughtful, intelligent, well-crafted and, above all, exciting.

He would be delighted that his books are not forgotten. He would agree that publishing now is very different from the days of Desmond Bagley (a good friend of his) Maclean etc. Now it seems the shelves are full of celebrity novels.

I came upon him quite by accident about two years ago, but I would now definitely say he is one of my favorite authors. "King's Commissar," "Green River High," "Black Camelot," and "Cage of Ice" are my favorites. However all (and I truly mean all) of his books are top notch.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12343057603402596156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32738097.post-18562868113646389262008-07-01T22:09:00.000+01:002008-07-01T22:09:00.000+01:00Yes, it is indeed a shame that a fine thriller wri...Yes, it is indeed a shame that a fine thriller writer is all but forgotten. Time was, as people here know, that a writer's reputation, and the audience for his work, would survive long after his death.<BR/><BR/>Now, the work of the "mid-list" writer, dead or alive, has been almost eliminated from the marketplace.
