Rating:  Summary: The Goods are Delivered Review: Calling all men! Calling all men! Looking for a decent beach book? One that's action-packed and swift-moving? Entertaining to read, and won't put a hurt on your brain? Put down that Clancy and Ludlum garbage and pick up "Night of the Fox".Nobody can do WWII like the dependable Mr. Higgins. He is capable of breathing life into a seemingly tired genre. True, it ain't Shakespeare, but it's good, clean fun. Note to author: Please, Mr. Higgins, retire Sean Dillon and the Rasheeds already. Hey you on the next beach blanket, whose wife is making you read Nicholas Sparks! For shame! You need some more sunscreen, and you need some Higgins!
Rating:  Summary: decent Jack Higgins fiction Review: Higgins provides another satisfying tale of World War II intrigue in Night of the Fox. Harry Martineau is a good character, and the action moves pretty swiftly. This book is not as good as The Eagle Has Landed, but it is one of Higgins' better novels.
Rating:  Summary: What an exciting and fantastic experience ! Review: I have never read such an exciting book. The reason I bought this book was not for a fun but for studying english. But, for Mr.Higgins's marvelous talent, I could enjoy the story itself. What an excellent time I had. I want to read Mr.Higgins's another novel to brush up my english.
Rating:  Summary: Five stars is not enough Review: I've rated a few books with five stars, and then I read this book and I could not find a six star rating. This book deserves 6 Stars.
Rating:  Summary: The Author Could Do More Review: If you have read some of the authors books in the past you have a good idea of what you are going to get. An easy to read and understandable book that is full of action. Because of this I am starting to stay away from his books because I am looking for books with a little more depth. With that said I did fall back into my old habits and read this after picking it up at a sale. He really delivers on a fast paced action book and it seams like he is trying to expand some and use more main characters. For a Higgins book this is pretty good, I am still giving it a bit of a knock because I think with as much experience as the author has he could give us more character development.
Rating:  Summary: This book is his best. Review: This boojk is his biggest bestseller ever! I simply had to read it for three straight weeks. A truly gut-wrenching thriller! UNDOWNOUTABLE!
Rating:  Summary: Not to be missed Review: This book is one of my personal favourites, even among the works of Jack Higgins. The discovery of old photographs of British war hero Harry Martineau dressed in a Nazi uniform serves as the starting point for this fast-paced historical thriller. Set on the Channel Islands during the Second World War, "Night of the Fox" revolves around Martineau's assembly of a team of doppelgangers who, posing as an elite German squad, are sent to retrieve a captured British officer - a man who knows the exact time and place of the Allied invasion of France. Things fall apart when one of Martineau's men drowns and is discovered to be wearing a R.A.F. uniform under his German one. Higgins skilfully keeps the story moving forward, and the remembered tale of heroism and sacrifice is told with just a hint of nostalgia, in a tone appropriate to the sad chain of events its heroes endure.
Rating:  Summary: The book that keeps on surprising! Review: This book really made me feel like i was there with the characters, and speaking of the characters they are so discriptive and actually have depth to them. I'm a fan of world war II and this book brings it closer to your doorstep. I love the storyline jack higgans uses to get the reader into the story and the characters. I love the event this book is based on because it was such a pivital point in history. After all jack higgans is my favorite author, I hope he becomes yours also.
Rating:  Summary: Not quite enough Review: This was the first Jack Higgins book that I've read, and likely not my last. This book was easy to read and the action was consistent throughout. I do think Higgins could have done more to develop his characters. I don't feel that I really got to know the book's most exciting character, Harry Martineau.
