I would only suggest two which may have been inadvertently overlooked as I somewhat hurriedly ran down all the suggestions: "The African Queen" by C. S. Forester "The Flight of the Phoenix" Elleston Trevor Thank you, all! A delightful compilation of adventure novels as well as a treasure of suggestions from readers.

Greatest adventure story I have ever read. Autobiographical account (perhaps embellished/part-fictional) of a french convict shipped to a penal colony in South America and his continuous escapes and adventures through South America. Two of my other favourites are "The Power of One" by Bryce Courtenay and the sequel, "Tandia". About a white boy who grows up in South Africa during apartheid and becomes a boxing champion of the world. Both really engrossing and powerful books. Some other great non-fiction adventure stories - "Into Thin Air" by Jon Krakauer (greatest mountain climbing story of all time!) and "Kontiki" (account of a group of Norwegian men who build and sail a traditional south american Indian balsa raft from South America to the Polynesian islands). Maybe we need a Non-fiction list also! “Papillon” by Henri Charrierre. Greatest adventure story I have ever read.
