Rating: Summary: One of Jack Higgins best!! Review: Jack Higgins has done it again- an outstanding book. All his books capture your attention until you cannot put the book down. This is one of them. Sean Dillon becomes involved with stolen gold again after ten years, but this time he works for the British. I hope Higgins writes more Sean Dillon stories- I love them!!
Rating: Summary: Classic Higgins! Review: Jack Higgins' alter ego Sean Dillon explodes into action! Dillon could take Dirk Pitt and Jack Ryan and not spill a drop of his beloved Krug champagne.
Higgins' style, more American than European,has introduced US readers to a more exciting UK than the normally boring British prose.
An exciting and enjoyable read.
Rating: Summary: Not up to par. Review: Maybe if this book was wriiten by another author it would have been acceptable, but it certainly isn't up to Jakc Higgin's usual standards. The story seems to drag on with character's plucked straight out of his last book. It almost seems as though this book was written simply to fill the hands of his readers until he could come up with something good.
Rating: Summary: Trash. Review: The characters weren't one-dimensional. They were less than that - maybe 1/2 dimensional. For what the plot lacked in focus, it made up in predictability. The dialogue doesn't ring true. I suspect strongly that the author was drunk when he wrote it. To call Jack Higgins a hack is an insult to hard-working hacks everywhere
Rating: Summary: NOT THE BEST BUT IT'S CLOSE Review: The first book by Jack Higgins that I read, since then I have read many more. While this book is slow at times it's not slow for long, I enjoyed it from cover to cover. Thank You Mr. Higgins for showing me the joy of reading.
Rating: Summary: Very good Review: The first Jack Higgins book I picked up was "On Dangerous Ground" I have been a big fan ever since. Drink with the Devil is almost outstanding. I very much enjoyed the dual stories the book tells. I admit once you have read Higgins, you realize that he is somewhat predictable. However, you can't deny his writting is compelling and entertaining. This book was hard to put down!!
Rating: Summary: The British government wants to find gold stolen from them. Review: This book is about adventure and has a real grip of suspense. Sean Dillion a former IRA member who specializes in killing people starts working for the British Intelligence. Michael ryan a pro-Irish steals millions of dollars in gold from the British to finance the war in Ireland. Dillion is sent to get the gold back in any way he can but the mafia steps into the fight and rush to find it. However, the gols sank on a ship ten years earlier and only one man knows where the gold is. Who will win the race? Jack Ryan knows how to write good books and this one is superb!
Rating: Summary: A Winner Review: This is a good story with interesting characters. I love Jack Higgins and the character he has created: Sean Dillon. You'll enjoy this book and the further adventures of Mr. Dillon.
Rating: Summary: good book Review: THIS IS THE FIRST BOOK BY JACK HIGGINS I HAVE READ ANDI THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD ONE. THIS BOOK STARTS OUT IN 1985 WHEN MARTIN KEOGH AKA ( SEAN DILLON) PLAY HERO FOR TEENAGE GIRL NAMED KATHLEEN RYAN WHO ENDS UP INTRODUCING HIM TO HER UNCLE MICHAEL RYAN WHO IS A IRISH PROTESTANT LOYALIST AND WHO HAS A PLAN TO STEAL A SEMI THAT IS LOADED WITH GOLD WORTH A 100 MILLION POUNDS . BUT MARTIN KNOWS THIS BECAUSE HE IS WORKING FOR JACK BARRY A LEADER IN THE IRA AS IS MARTIN . TEY FIGURE ON STEALING THE GOLD TO HAVE MONEY FOR WEAPONS JUST LIKE MICHAEL RYAN. I WONT GIVE ANY MORE OF THAT PART AWAY BUT THE BOOK JUMPS A HEAD 10 YEARS AND THERE ARE SOME NEW ALLIANCES. THIS WAS A REALLY GOOD BOOK WITHWHAT I THOUGHT WAS A PRETTY GOOD ENDING
Rating: Summary: A toxic story in deed! Review: This story is another page turner. I really enjoyed it a lot!! Read this one and enjoy it. I sure did.
