Synopsis
This book has all the ingredients of a series of "thriller" detective stories, with the added fascination that the searches and rescues described by Bob Maslen-Jones are true, and related by a first-hand witness:- the author himself....The combination of skilled mountain rescue teams and their dogs with the helicopter pilots of the Royal Air Force, adds further flavour to these gripping stories... permit me to recommend "Countdown to Rescue" to everyone who ventures upon our mountains, and to many others besides.

Review
I would recommend Countdown to Rescue to all mountain/crag enthusiasts and would suggest that it is not simply read at home and then confined to the bookcase. -- W. F. Holmström
In Countdown to Rescue, Bob Maslen-Jones recounts his personal experiences in mountain rescue work in Snowdonia over the past 15 years or so. -- Geoffrey Templeman, The Alpine Journal
