Good

I have read all his books and this is a complete failure. Epic horrible! I normally finish a Higgins book over a few days. This one took weeks because it was so boring it kept putting me to sleep. If you remove all references to the characters drinking, eating and arrogance the book would be a short story. Horrible, horrible, horrible.

Great as usual with Jack Higgins

I've been reading Higgins' books for more than 20 years, and this is an epic fail. Thin plot, poorly developed story lines that could have been predicted by a 10 year old. Simply put - his worst book ever. I won't be buying anything written by him again. A definite "No", don't waste your time or money.

I have enjoyed Jack Higgins for years, but this book, and his last 3 or 4 books have been repeats of plots and events. Mr. Higgins substitutes some of the "bad guys" into the same rolls as in prior books, adds some new (and very similar characters) into the Prime Minister's Private Army, and repeats the same events as in prior books. Am I the only one who notices this? I still read the new books because I really like Sean Dillon, but Mr. Higgins must explore new plot lines or I and other fans of Sean Dillon may look elsewhere for adventure.

This a is typical story: we'll written, nicely plotted but typical rather than original. The usual cast of characters follow the usual action pattern. A good, but not great, book.
