"This is the very first Jack Higgins book I have read. It made me want to read more works from the said author. He made every character exciting and I could not put it down till I got to the very end. "
— Girlie (4 out of 5 stars)
" Very Good; Continuing character: Sean Dillon; small group of assassins attempt to keep Irish groups at war with each other. "
— Joe, 1/12/2014" Another fast paced, action filled read by this author. "
— David, 1/8/2014" This is the very first Jack Higgins book I have read. It made me want to read more works from the said author. He made every character exciting and I could not put it down till I got to the very end. "
— Girlie, 12/11/2013" Another good Jack Higgins. Female terrorist on the run and Sean Dillon and his crew are trying to stop her. "
— Jan, 12/2/2013" This was the first book I've read by Jack Higgins. It was interesting enough, maybe if I knew more about the IRA & KGB I'd have cared more about the conflict. I liked the characters, I may have to see if Dillon appears in his other books. "
— Erika, 11/30/2013" Jack did it again! Very good book. "
— Charlie, 10/10/2013" Isn't this the same plot as "On Dangerous Ground"? When Lang showed up in the Prime Minister's office, I thought, "There's no way the author would do this again, is there?". Guess, what? He would. "
— Mary, 9/21/2013" Ahh... a fine tale it is. "
— Ron, 3/18/2013" Good book in the series - Dillon is almost as a character as Liam Devlin "
— Marylu, 1/29/2013" Great buildup to ending. Quick read. "
— Sara, 1/9/2013" A very weak effort by Higgins who is capable of far better. Probably knocked this off over a rainy weekend to meet a publishers quota. The story is implausible, predictable and it is impossible to take the antagonist characters with the exception of Belov seriously. "
— Pete, 9/18/2012" Not my favorite Dillon book. "
— Daelith, 8/25/2012" Whilst I enjoy the Dillon series, this one wasn't as well written as the previous books. I am hoping the next one is better. "
— Mark, 7/9/2012" Just reread this and it's still intense, fast paced, and I love Sean Dillion. "
— Ben, 1/19/2012" Wasn't as great as the first two,but better than the 3rd by a lot. "
— Travis, 12/4/2011" I love a good Higgins novel, but this one was probably the weakest I have read. Good storyline, but very predictable. "
— Maureen, 5/25/2011" Cookie cutter thriller from Sean Dillon franchise. "
— Tanvir, 2/21/2011" Thought this was okay. It took me a little bit to get into it, and then found out it was the fourth in a series, so I might go to the beginning and try it. "
— Darin, 1/8/2011" Isn't this the same plot as "On Dangerous Ground"? When Lang showed up in the Prime Minister's office, I thought, "There's no way the author would do this again, is there?". Guess, what? He would. "
