Orion's Belt
Michelet, Jon: Orions belte
Lars, Sverre and Tom are used to operate on both sides of the law in order to earn some easy money. The three men on board the cargo ship Sandy Hook are heading towards The Inaccessible Island to shoot ice-bears. But on the deserted island north of Norway one of the superpowers has placed a secret weapon. The crew has to fight and flee for their lives when they are attacked by a Soviet helicopter. This is only the beginning of a game that proves to involve players far more powerful than the three petty criminals would ever have dreamt of...
A screen version of the book was made in 1985, and the film was a huge success among viewers and critics alike.

"Jon Michelet cannot change the course of the world, but he can write. His writing makes the sparks fly. It sets off grenades and bombs!"
