Summary: A master's work!
Review: This book HAS to be one of Jack Higgins' best! As the combined forces of British and French Security Services "set a thief to catch a thief", the adventure gets even more deadly and complicated. At one side there is an Irish-American Martin Brosnan who is an ex-IRA gunman trying to live a decent life and at the other hand there is a ruthless but honorable and charismatic villain, Sean Dillon, whom you can't resist loving. As the hunter becomes the hunted, the reader gets more and more sucked in this great Jack Higgins book which combines his old books (thorough the appearence of his Liam Devlin and mentioning of Frank Barry) to his new ones... And when you are finished, you can't shake the feeling that this WAS actually what REALLY happened during the mortar attack on Number Ten Downing Street on February 7, 1991...

Summary: A great slam-bang action thriller!
Review: This book was great! This was the first Jack Higgins book I ever read and I loved it. After that I started reading his other books as well. Being a big James Bond fan, I love action and this book didn't lack action. If your're looking for a good action thriller, look no further!

Summary: Fillin in on Dillon
Review: This is a great and exciting adventure book which contains many little twists along the way. You meet Sean Dillon who is a quick, scary figure whom the story revolves. I am not about to give the plot away, but Dillon plots what he plans to be a devestating attack on the English government with great intentions. He gets help along with his friends which sometimes have to make a sacrifice - of their life. This also isn't one of those boring stories which everything goes the way of the main character, which to find out more you will have to read this great thriller of a book which I really recommend to you.

Summary: i like higgins
Review: This is my 1st Higgins book and also my 1st book on tape. I liked the story alot. Sean Dillon is a great villan. The book was read by Patrick Macnee and his way is very good. Dillon has alot of ability, and needs it against the crafty Brosnan. Aroun and Makeev find out early on not to mess with the former IRA super hitman. Alot of good action sets and if you like this type of story, pick it up. The version I had is only 2 tapes, but very good. I wish, though, that it was more. I don't know if it's on tape in an un-abridged version.

Summary: Sheer action all the way
Review: What separates this book from other "thrillers" is the sheer fast pace and relatively simple plot that rewards readers like a short satisfying lunch rather than a boring 3 course.Though the characters were very much like before - 1. Brit Intel agents 2. Master-criminal/spy 3. Ambitious larger than life targets - as usual, the British PM 4. Small-time crooks who became untied loose ends that eventually tripped the villain 5. Traitor within the British establishment There is now of course the introduction of the veteran Liam Devlin, the man who never grew old and moved as he did during the Gulf War as he did during the WW2. His successor is Martin Brosnan, with the same self-effacing humour, a former IRA who through strange circumstances found himself working for British interests. Sean Dillon though, was unforgivably stupid to have made the errors that eventually led to his failure. The final question is, is there a criminal in Higgins' novel who is not virtually invincible? This book is worth the reading, for a quick theory/speculation of how the British War Cabinet survived an almost random assault - the kind which would never have been detected if not for stupid mistakes on the perpetrators. While the characters echoed those from earlier novels, there is enough variation in the plot to make it interesting.
