Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great book, reads fast
Review: Higgins has again produced another classic book. Set in Greenland, Higgins has taken readers around the globe again in a fast paced adventure with an ending I doubt anyone not peeking will predict. I've read over twenty of his books, and this one is one of my very favorites.

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Story plays out well till a dull ending!
Review: I love Jack Higgins and when I was sorting through some books at the college I go and saw this one I was excited. The story flows really well and the characters are described well, however as a read quickly to reach a great ending I was disappointed and kinda let down. But overall just another excellent book by Higgins...

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Early Higgins that gives his newer work a run for the money.
Review: In the Arctic Circle of Greenland, charter pilot Joe Martin is hired to transport passengers to a newly discovered small plane crash to positively identify the bodies for an Insurance Company. But Joe quickly figures out that his passengers, are playing a much deeper game than an Insurance investigation, but, he doesn't quite know what. Joe doesn't know the object of the game yet, but the rules, as Joe intuitively understands them, do not rule out murder...

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: HE slips a little but still a well worth waiting conclusion!
Review: Not as great as every other book but wow what an ending!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A most magnificent thriller in the genre of Alistair Maclean
Review: Told from the view of the narrator, charter pilot Joe Martin, the tale was unfolded, introducing the desolation of remote communities in Greenland and how it affected the so-called civilised people when they left the exile of urbanisation and returned to nature.

What was it about Cape Desolation, one of the most challenging places in the world to survive, that attracted various folks who had been born and bred in the big cities? Movie stars, insurance agents, beautiful women all combined to produce volatile tension when an abandoned plane was discovered in the middle of nowhere with 2 dead bodies. A supposed griefing widow, an overly solicitious insurance agent, Joe discovered that greed can rear its ugly head in the most unexpected quarters.

In a fashion, this book followed the style of Alistair Maclean when the narrator described everything that he saw, heard and felt, but refrained from revealing all the knowledge available.
A good mix of mystery and turns, even if the excitement of the wilderness and artic aviation failed to rouse you, the superb drama between lively characters, with all the human failings and foibles would serve to delight and entertain, making this book hard to put down.
