Sexed up exploitation potboiler based on the infamous "Alive" Andes Flight Disaster of 1972, churned out just a year afterwards. Reads like a 70s TV movie-of-the-week with hardcore inserts, as a cast of drug dealers, terrorists, movie stars and more spice up the real life story of cannibalism, which is allotted a few measly pages amidst the melodrama. "Theodore Clifford" is undoubtedly a pseudonym of copyright owner Sylvia Von Block, a pulp writer who was no stranger to noms de plume. The striking cover design merits mention as effective graphic art, with just a stock photo of some mountains and a little cutout jet silhouette bracing us for impact.
