Jack Higgins Dark Justice (Sean Dillon) (Sean Dillon)
Berkley 20050801 0425205088 / 9780425205082 MM Very Good
0425205088 From Publishers Weekly Many of Higgins's thrillers have told one continuing saga, involving the efforts of Gen. Charles Ferguson (head of the British PM's "Private Army") and his staff to fend off various threats to queen and country. Here the timely challenge is Arab terrorism, but wobbly focus makes this a mediocre entry in a generally first-rate series. An attempt on the American president's life leads Ferguson--who alerted the Secret Service to the threat--and his main man, legendary hit man and former IRA enforcer Sean Dillon, to Josef Belov, an associate of Vladimir Putin (who appears in a cameo) and a Russian oil billionaire who's intent on world domination and who along the way is funneling would-be jihadists from Britain into terrorist training camps in the Middle East. Instead of concentrating on the promising terrorist angle, Higgins traces Dillon and Ferguson's pursuit of Belov and his goons, a race that leads to violent shootouts in Iraq and elsewhere. Ferguson takes a bullet, and Supt. Hannah Bernstein is seriously hurt. The story climaxes in a vengeful, bloody foray by Dillon and old sidekick Billy Salter into Belov's castle stronghold in Ireland. Higgins's action has always been clipped, but here some scenes are positively rushed, and there's much that's overly familiar. Still, the author's high-speed narration and the mesmerizing hard edges of heroes and villains alike should sustain fans' perhaps grudging interest. Copyright ? Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition. From Booklist Higgins has been a best-selling author for decades, but most of his books sound pretty much alike. This one, which brings back IRA enforcer turned British intelligence officer Sean Dillon, begins with a botched attempt to assassinate the U.S. president. Turns out the would-be assassin (who takes his own life rather than be apprehended) is part of a network of villains bent on causing as much terror and confusion as possible. Can Dillon and his American counterpart Blake Johnson bring the evildoers to justice? It's a standard Higgins plot, with standard Higgins characters, and fans of the novelist's previous thrillers will soon realize they are in familiar territory. The Higgins name will still attract an audience of devotees, but younger readers new to the genre are unlikely to see what all the fuss was about. Even veteran Higgins readers may find that too much of a once good thing has become tedious. David Pitt Copyright ? American Library Association.

Jack Higgins Drink With the Devil
Audio Literature 1996 0787109665 / 9780787109660 Audiobook Cassette Very Good
0787109665 Amazon Review Jack Higgins is the Ebola virus of thriller writers: his prose is so contagious that it makes you read along feverishly until the bitter end. Since there's no known cure, you might as well lie back and enjoy his latest attack, a compulsively readable story about an alliance between the New York Mafia and Irish Loyalists to recover 50 million pounds worth of stolen gold bullion from the bottom of the Irish Sea. It pits Sean Dillon, one of Higgins's trademark superheroes, against a variety of villains--none more frightening than a young woman driven mad by hatred. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. From Publishers Weekly Sean Dillon, master of disguise and steady Higgins hero (Angel of Death, etc.), returns for another go against political mayhem in the author's latest action-fest. A 1985 hijacking of gold bullion, masterminded by Irish Protestant terrorist Michael Ryan, ends with the ship that's carrying the booty sinking off Ireland. Ryan and his niece Kathleen flee to America while their presumed henchman, seemingly a sailor but actually a disguised Dillon, then an IRA enforcer, ostensibly returns to sea. Ten years later, Ryan is sprung from an American medical prison by a Mafia lawyer intent on retrieving the bullion. Soon the gold is the object of desire of the mob, a retired IRA chief of staff and British Intelligence, for whom Dillon now works. The cheeky, pint-sized Dillon tends toward occasional stage Irishness, and the other characterizations aren't much deeper, but readers riveted by Higgins's mastery of plot and pace won't mind at all. Winding up with a jaunty noir bounce, this is splendid high pulp-in other words, vintage Higgins. BOMC main selection. (June) ~ FYI: Two Sean Dillon novels, On Dangerous Ground and Eye of the Storm, will air later this year on Showtime as TV movies, starring Rob Lowe as Dillon.

Ten years later, Sean is working for British Intelligence when he is ordered to go after the gold again. Now he is to prevent the bullion from disrupting the peace between the Catholics and Protestants. Dillon, boss Brigadier Ferguson, and partner Hannah Bernstein must also deal with the Mafia. They ask 85-year-old Liam Devlin for help, and the IRA legend of past Higgins books is only too pleased to participate. The excitement never lags as each side double-crosses the others. Sean is too perfect, however, and the surprise ending is not a surprise. Even so, it is fun getting there. Recommended for popular collections.Andrea Lee Shuey, Dallas P.L.Copyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.From BooklistIn this sequel to the Sean Dillon saga (see Angel of Death ), the secret agent saves the peace in Northern Ireland through an ingenious masquerade that exploits his past as a dependable IRA man. Flash back to 1985 when Dillon, alias Michael Keogh, is sent by the Provos to infiltrate their archenemy, the Unionists. After ingratiating himself by knee-capping some Catholics, "Keogh" discovers an interesting plot afoot: his "comrade" Ryan plans to heist gold bullion in England, ship it back to Ulster, and finance his group's war against the IRA. Unfortunately, the plan founders along with the ship during a shoot-out; Keogh and Ryan trudge ashore to continue the story. Ten years pass, finding Ryan, the only one who knows the location of the shipwreck, doing time for killing an American police officer, while Keogh/Dillon has turned coats, working now, for no apparent motivation, for England's prime minister. The author is betting that his readers want action rather than explanation, which they get, courtesy of an unlikely plot accelerator: Ryan's trade of his knowledge for the Mafia's help in a jailbreak. Soon all parties converge over the old bones of the ship, but the gold is gone! You can bet it turns up somewhere else, but not until Dillon demonstrates his skill with a gun and in undercover work, the basis of his continuing appeal to Higgins' readers. Gilbert Taylor --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.From Kirkus ReviewsOnetime terrorist Sean Dillon goes for the gold once more, in a tired, overgalvanized treasure hunt aimed at die-hard Higgins regulars. Before he beat his IRA sword into the plowshare of Her Majesty's Secret Service, Dillon (Angel of Death, 1995, etc.) managed to infiltrate loose-cannon Irish Protestant Michael Ryan's plot to steal ?50 million in gold bullion to purchase weapons for the Loyalist cause. Ryan and his teenaged niece Kathleen, not realizing their strong right arm ``Martin Keogh'' was actually IRA stalwart Dillon, planned to hijack a gold shipment and transport the booty by sea to the Emerald Isle. But a dispute with the Ryans' other hirelings, the mercenary captain and crew, left the Irish Rose sunk in 90 feet of water. Now, ten years later, a lot of people suddenly get interested in the sunken treasure all over again. Mafia Don Antonio Russo wants to break Ryan out of a New York prison, where he's serving 25 years for shooting a cop, in return for the coordinates of the Irish Rose. Jack Barry, Dillon's old boss before he retired as IRA Chief of Staff, thinks the gold (now worth ?100 million) would come in handy in arming the Provos. The Ryans, forced into partnership with the hated Barry and the Mafia godfather, are just waiting for the moment when they can grab the loot that should have been theirs. And Dillon, now working for Brigadier Charles Ferguson and Chief Inspector Sarah Bernstein in the cause of peace, can't afford to let anybody else get their hands on the gold. With all these cross-plotters bustling about waving their Walthers, the scene is set for one of those patented Higgins climaxes in which the blood will flow like Bushmills. This time, though, the cast--even spitfire Kathleen Ryan, who comes across as one more dead-eyed avenger--seems glazed and over-rehearsed, as if they've run the familiar story through one Saturday matinee too many.

Jack Higgins Eagle Has Flown
Audioworks 1991 0671724657 / 9780671724658 Audiobook Cassette Very Good
0671724657 Review A spirited sequel to The Eagle Has Landed, the 1975 WW II adventure thriller that catapulted Higgins into best-sellerdom. Though lacking the wild premise, drama, and suspense of the original, this engrossing follow-up, Higgin's 50th novel, does display a veteran's craftsmanship as it traces what happened to noble S.S. colonel Kurt Steiner and charismatic IRA hit-man Liam Devlin after their botched attempt to shanghai Winston Churchill to Nazi Germany on Himmler's orders. Once again, Higgins veneers his tale with historicity - here, by presenting it as being told to him by Devlin shortly after the publication of The Eagle Has Landed. Steiner, Devlin tells Higgins, wasn't shot dead after all but was captured - inspiring Himmler to launch a rescue operation led by Devlin (working for money to fund the IRA) and organized by heroic S.S. general Walter Schellenberg, but also inspiring the British, led by military mastermind Dougal Munro, who gets wind of the rescue, to set a trap for Devlin. The lion's share of the pages, and clearly Higgins's heart, belong to the rescuers, with Schellenberg shown recruiting a daredevil escape pilot as Devlin sneaks into England, travels to London, contacts IRA cronies, has a violent run-in with gangsters, and, disguised as a priest, snatches Steiner from under Munro's nose. A robust tale, told with gusto if no inspiration; more intriguing is the novel-long subplot about why Himmler wants Steiner rescued: to occupy Schellenberg while Himmler, infuriated with Hitler's military losses, plots to kill the Fuehrer - a plan Schellenberg determines to disrupt, realizing that only Hitler's incompetence will shorten the needless, bloody, already lost war. . . Lots of manly action, and the golden title will make this a best-seller, but more masterful entertainment is available in The Eagle Has Landed - which the publisher is simultaneously reissuing in hard-cover in a "fully restored, complete" version, about 10% longer than the 1975 edition. (Kirkus Reviews) Review Publishers Weekly A triumphant return to the settings and characters from Jack Higgins' most famous novel, The Eagle Has Landed. The master of the WWII thriller is at the top of his form. Kirkus Reviews A spirited sequel to The Eagle Has Landed....This engrossing follow-up...displays a veteran's craftsmanship....A robust tale, told with gusto. --This text refers to the Mass Market Paperback edition.
