" I don't really enjoy reading books with so much bad language. The story line was good the suspense was good but really I can do with out the language. "
" Good adventure story as usual. "
" Another good book by Jack Higgins. "
" The story is somewhat flawed but this is a fairly satisfying novel. Higgins brings the Liam Devlin character from 'The Eagle Has Landed' back to team up with Sean Dillon and that worked to great advantage. "
" I listened to this book on audio... "
" Sean Dillon is back! very good leisure read. "
" another good author. The Sean Dillon series is brilliant. "
" A typical Higgins story. Although I should say a typical Higgins story when he cared about how he wrote. His last 3 or 4 books have been lousy with just action and underdeveloped characters and plot lines. This is one of his good ones - fast paced, good character development. "
" Better than his later stuff. But I've had enough of Higgins for a while. They just aren't clever enough. "
" I had such a literary crush on Sean Dillon, the ex-IRA bad ass in this book, and many other Higgins' novels. More fun action. "
" Sean Dillon is one of my favorite characters. This was great with the supposedly sunken gold. "
" Very Good; Continuing character: Sean Dillon; IRA, Protestants, and Mafia all try to recapture gold sunk off coast of Ireland before Dillon and company can do so. "
" A good story featuring Sean Dillon. "
" Ok book, not so great. It was good in the way, Dillon goes to meet the President, otherwise, the plot is very usual. "
" I have been reading Jack Higgins books for years and I am a big fan. This is an early Sean Dillon book which gives some background into his history with the IRA. I am never disappointed with author. "
" I find Higgins books to be a staple in my book diet when I need a book to read that won't completely disappoint me. I enjoy the characters and the stories always hold my interest. "
" Quite an enjoyable story, Irish intrigue, greed, mystery and a few laughs. And the good guy wins. "
