Night of Error
The sea and its secrets always fascinated the Trevelyan brothers. It is on an expedition to a remote Pacific atoll that Mark dies - a natural death Mike is told.
There was no love lost between the brothers. But the circumstances surrounding Mark's death were suspicious enough to force Mike to investigate - even without the series of violent attacks on him that followed.

About the author
Desmond Bagley
132 books167 followersDesmond Bagley was a British journalist and novelist principally known for a series of best-selling thrillers. Along with fellow British writers such as Hammond Innes and Alistair MacLean, Bagley established the basic conventions of the genre: a tough, resourceful, but essentially ordinary hero pitted against villains determined to sow destruction and chaos in order to advance their agenda.
Bagley was born at Kendal, Cumbria (then Westmorland), England, the son of John and Hannah Bagley. His family moved to the resort town of Blackpool in the summer of 1935, when Bagley was twelve. Leaving school not long after the relocation, Bagley worked as a printer's assistant and factory worker, and during World War II he worked in the aircraft industry. Bagley suffered from a speech impediment (stuttering) all of his life, which initially exempted him from military conscription.
He left England in 1947 for Africa and worked his way overland, crossing the Sahara Desert and briefly settling in Kampala, Uganda, where he contracted malaria. By 1951, he had settled in South Africa, working in the gold mining industry and asbestos industry in Durban, Natal, before becoming a freelance writer for local newspapers and magazines.
His first published short story appeared in the English magazine Argosy in 1957, and his first novel, The Golden Keel in 1962. In the interval, he was a film critic for Rand Daily Mail in Johannesburg from 1958–1962. Also during this period, he met local bookstore owner Joan Margaret Brown and they were married in 1960.
The success of The Golden Keel led Bagley to turn full time to novel writing by the mid-1960s. He published a total of sixteen thrillers, all craftsmanlike and nearly all best-sellers. Typical of British thriller writers of the era, he rarely used recurring characters whose adventures unfolded over multiple books. Max Stafford, the security consultant featured in Flyaway and Windfall, is a notable exception. Also typically, his work has received little attention from filmmakers, yielding only a few, unremarkable adaptations. Exceptions were The Freedom Trap (1971), released in 1973 as The Mackintosh Man by Warner Brothers, starring Paul Newman and Dominique Sanda; and Running Blind which was adapted for television by the BBC in 1979.
Bagley and his wife left South Africa for Italy in 1960, and then England in 1965. They settled in Totnes, Devon from 1965–1976, then lived in Guernsey in the Channel Islands from 1976-1983.
Bagley also published short stories. When not traveling to research the exotic backgrounds for his novels, Bagley spent his time sailing and motor-boating. He loved classical music and films, military history, and played war games.
Desmond Bagley died of complications resulting from a stroke at a hospital in Southampton. He was fifty-nine. His last two novels Night of Error and Juggernaut were published posthumously after completion by his wife. His works have been translated into over 20 languages.

As a child/teenager I absolutely loved the ”simple” suspense novels by Desmond Bagley & Alistair MacLean, eating up every word. Triggered by an audio adaption of Landslide I fell upon, I decided to revisit Desmond Bagley to see if the Novels could withstand the wear of more than 35 years.
The first (pleasant) surprise was that even though I thought I had read all the books, not all were translated to Danish at that time, so I could start out with a couple of new experiences.
The Golden Keel (1963) , High Citadel (1965) , Wyatt's Hurricane (1966)
The first 3 books, all new to me, were pleasant surprises and it was plain to see why Bagley so quickly became a best-seller novelist, the stories are well written with a fast pace and a sense of detail which makes them readable even today.
Landslide (1967)
Landslide was a revisit and one of my favorites both back then and now, the story is catching and has a definite film manuscript feeling about it,
The Vivero Letter (1968)
Another “new” novel, it was not as strong as the first 4 but still enjoyable.
The Spoilers (1969)
Another new novel and a definitely low point, the story is weak and utterly unbelievable.
Running Blind (1970)
Another reread and another favorite, maybe his best novel, the story is strong, the setting in Iceland is brilliant and characters, simple as they are, are believable.
The Freedom Trap (1971)
Another new novel very loosely connected to "running blind", this time mostly placed in Ireland, slightly weaker than it's predecessor but still a enjoyable read.
The Tightrope Men (1973)
Another reread, Bagley's take on the Cold War political thriller, which Le Carre made famous in those years, The political intrigues falls somewhat flat for me, but the surrounding action story is Bagley at his best
The Snow Tiger (1975)
Another reread, I read this again in 2012 and decided not to reread it this time around. The story is well written and as something new constructed around a retrospektiv framework so the first half of the book retells events already happened whereas the story kicks off from there, Bagleys first attempt to play with the narrative form and well carried out. definitely in top 3 bagley.
The Enemy (1977)
Another "new" novel and a good one at that. Bagley is now a mature storyteller with more dimensions, the story are still fast paced but far more unpredictable than the earlier novels, this one actually spins off in a totally unexpected direction two thirds though, another solid novel and far from outdated.
Flyaway (1978)
Another "new" novel and the first max Stafford novel, the story mostly place in the middle east are well written and believable even today.
, Bahama Crisis (1980)
Another "new" novel, not a bad story but the political setup seems far fetched today.
Windfall (1982)
Another New novel and the second Max Stafford novel, way better than Bahama Crisis. Placed partly in Africa and again playing with the format having two main characters intermingling.
, Night Of Error (1984)
Another reread, a strong novel where Bagley again does what he's best at, using well researched science to create a believable background story and adding a fast paced action story on top of it.
, Juggernaut (1985)
The first (pleasant) surprise was that even though I thought I had read all the books, not all were translated to Danish at that time, so I could start out with a couple of new experiences.

April 25, 2017A pleasant adventure story to while away an afternoon.
March 13, 2020
I am a fan and that has influenced my rating, at least by half a star! This is another action thriller by the master - his very first one, but published a lot later - that guarantees a level of entertainment that never makes one regret picking it up. The story is not very complicated, but the execution is engaging, and the ending is quite satisfactory. The locales where the story takes place are exotic - the sea and the islands of the South Pacific. There is also some interesting information about oceanology and the formation and occurrence of undersea nodules containing metal ores. There is a bit of suspense, romance, revenge, action and adventure in this novel, making it an enjoyable read, though not in the league of Bagley's best ones.

This is by far the worst Desmond Bagley novel I've read (and I've read most of them). It is a very simple and totally unbelievable adventure story that seems to be trying to be a Hammond Innes novel (it reminded me of Innes's 'Strode Venturer') but badly failing. According to Wikipedia, this was Bagley's first novel but he never published it (wisely, in my opinion). After his death, his wife had it revised and published. If you've never read any Desmond Bagley, try Running Blind, The Freedom Trap, The Vivero Letter or The Tightrope Men. In fact, anything except this one. Bagley was a great adventure/thriller writer and his best novels are wonderful. Just not this one...

Yet another book that probably comes from my grandfather's collection. In case you've not been able to tell, I'm working my way through them to figure out what to keep and and what to pass on.
This one will be passed on.
It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either, and so would never be reread.
The premise is interesting enough, and kinda relevant in an unexpected way given that there is currently renewed interest in manganese nodules and mining them. That it was set around when I was born was interesting as it allowed me to see how far we have come in some ways, plus it's ways fun to read a story where a quick mobile phone call or Google search doesn't provide various answers.
There was a bit of underlying sexism and racism, but more that prevalent then, rather than anything extreme on the part of the characters, but just be warned it is there in this book.
Beyond that, nothing special, as I said. The romance was lacking, so the fact there were a marriage proposal felt like it came out of nowhere. Also, the cover art gives away the ending, so that surprise was ruined, not that it wasn't more than signaled ahead of time, so it wouldn't have been particularly suspenseful either way.
So, not bad, but not memorable or worth keeping the book for.

Non mi è piaciuto molto… Troppo cruento e poco chiaro.
Devo dire che la cosa più bella del romanzo è l’ultima pagina, o meglio, la seconda parte dell’ultima pagina, quando Mike si accorge che non ha per nulla aiutato suo fratello a suicidarsi, bensì a scappare da una morte certa. Sebbene sempre in astio, sempre in tensione, i due fratelli, nell’ultimo momento istante in cui i loro occhi si incontrano, lasciano cadere le antiche barriere e sembrano infine riconoscersi. Una specie di inno al Figliol Prodigo, un legame che va al di là delle personalità e dei duelli interni, ma che lega, come le onde del mare.
Quell’ultima frase “E sì, gli augurai buona fortuna” è la più bella di tutto il romanzo. Ma forse è troppo poco.
Devo ammettere che sicuramente è un romanzo scritto per uomini e non per donne, e questo ovviamente influisce sul mio giudizio.

In true manly intrigue it was an interesting read. Each page painted a picture of what was happening and yes it did capture my imagination till the very end! Two brothers, both love a good adventure and the search for sciences that will make them rich in money and famous in the scientific world! However searching for this one precious stone has brought about death, piracy, living through a volcanic eruption and yet, tenderness and romance! Mike is searching for answers about his brother's death; Mark and his research disappear until a few months later a shipment arrived that started a journey on the high seas in the Pacific to get some answers! But most curious was a few lumps of rock that many wanted to steal from Mike .. why were they so special?

‘Windfall’ was the last novel that Bagley lived to see published, though his fans were to be gifted with three more titles. The first of these was ‘Night of Error’, written around the same title as his debut ‘The Golden Keel’ with which it shares certain narrative similarities. Bagley held it back from publication intending to make further revisions. After his death, and working from his original notes, the manuscript was revised under the supervision of Bagley’s widow. The result is vintage Bagley: a fast-paced novel of the sea, rich in scientific and technical detail, the suspense ratcheted to the maximum and the finale tense and violent.
Read
May 16, 2022Another action/adventure novel by Mr. Bagley. This one involves brothers who are both oceanographers, one of whom has been murdered and the search for possible wealth hiding at the bottom of the ocean. The technical details, from what I gather, are as always with Bagley accurate.
The novel is a solid read without being great. It does tend to flag at occasions but does have an exciting climax.
The novel was completed by Bagley's wife after he passed away from notes left behind. If you like Bagley or action/adventure novels in the vein of Alistair McLean, Robert Ludlum, Jack Higgins or Frederick Forsyth you will probably enjoy this.

Three and a half stars would be more appropriate for this yarn from Desmond Bagley.
Another paperback found in the loft and then earmarked for re-reading. You can forget quite a lot in thirty five years, so this was like a fresh read. Bagley keeps the plot moving nicely, the technical detail seems to stand up to scrutiny and the ending is straight from the Errol Flynn manual of derring-do.
A nice easy read, and still about another twenty 'from the loft' still to be re-read!

After a reasonable start this really does get bogged down in scientific gobbledygook. It drags on with very little feel for characterisation. I couldn't give a toss what happened to them or whether they got their undersea nodules or not. Apart from one or two scenes, this 'action' novel is a real two dimensional cliched bore!

Ich habe das Buch auf Deutsch gelesen (Titel "Die Täuschung"), aber die Übersetzung ist nicht auf Goodreads zu finden. Es ist ein flüssig zu lesender Abenteuerroman, der an manchen Stellen etwas vorhersehbar ist.

Bagley wrote a lot of adventure /thrillers and it good at it. Enjoyed this Sth. Pacific tale from 1984.
March 11, 2023
A very nice thriller, that starts of slow then builds throughout.
I know I've had this complaint before, but I thought the romance lacked build-up and felt like an afterthought.

In the early eighties, I couldn't get enough of thrillers by the likes of Desmond Bagley and Alistair MacLean. Now they feel a little dated. This book was actually published posthumously despite being one of the first which Bagley wrote. It is okay, but not as good as his best (like "Flyaway"). I'm not sure the meaning of the title "Night of Error".
Our hero is Mike, an oceanographer, whose brother died in mysterious circumstances on a remote Pacific atoll. Mike decides to investigate with a team of ex commandos and a wealthy businessman keen to exploit some manganese nodules rich in cobalt, which seem linked to the death. The entourage set sail and pass through the Panama canal to the vast Pacific Ocean, a hazardous expedition made more so by ruthless South American rivals.
The exotic locales of Tahiti and Tonga are welcome on a dreary metro ride, but there isn't a lot of description of the locales. I did learn far more about manganese nodules, which form on the ocean bed, than I ever wanted to know.
As the cover suggests there is a volcanic eruption, too.

Mike Trevelyan, an oceanic scientist, gets a visit from a man called Kane who tells him about his brother's death in Tahiti. Mike was not particularly fond of his brother. Soon a suitcase arrives with Mark's few belongings, among which are some manganese nodules. Mike leaves the suitcase and goes to meet an old friend, and when they return, someone is ransacking the apartment and steals the suitcase. Mike does an assay on one nodule which fell to the floor, and finds it is very rich in cobalt. Mark decides with his friend Geordie to take Geordie's sailboat and go to Tahiti to find out more about the nodules and Mark. They look up a miner, Campbell, who signs on with his daughter. From then on things are wild, with a Spanish miner intent on damage to Mike etc and to get to the nodules before anyone else.

I really enjoyed listening to this book. I read most of Desmond Bagley's books when I was a teen and I was hoping that my memory served me correctly. Having read this novel gave me an appreciation for the maturity of my reading level at that time as I loved the book just as much now as I did then. Often I don't enjoy reading recent books where technology is lacking, but this didn't bother me in this book at all. As they dealt with oceanography it was a field I know nothing about anyway, so the lack of technology was not a detraction from the story. I enjoyed the mystery and the characters were portrayed interestingly and with depth.

2/10
Porcheria "avventurosa" in stile Clive Cussler. Lo stile è sciatto, con infodump come se non ci fosse un domani; i personaggi sono stupidi, assumono una spia nella loro nave e poi vengono presi quasi di sorpresa dai sabotaggi, lasciano in giro prove decisive e documenti segreti, dicono a un uomo che verrà protetto e poi non mandano nessuno a proteggerlo; ci sono gnocche in ogni angolo; i Bbbuoni sono espertissimi nelle arti combattive ma, manco a dirlo, aborrono l'omicidio e la violenza fine a se stessa.

One of his early works, published much later. Bagley's thorough research into oceanography provides a highly original backdrop to a tale of family intrigue, piracy, industrial espionage and, of course, the ordinary bloke as a hero.
Good stuff, neatly done. Enjoyable thriller.
