— Daviyd, 1/16/2014" 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. "
— Carrie, 1/15/2014" Good adventure story as usual. "
— David, 1/5/2014" Another good book by Jack Higgins. "
— Charlie, 1/3/2014" 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. "
— Pete, 12/23/2013" I listened to this book on audio... "
— Christina, 12/20/2013" Sean Dillon is back! very good leisure read. "
— Dan, 12/11/2013" another good author. The Sean Dillon series is brilliant. "
— Kay, 11/13/2013" 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. "
— Kelly, 8/19/2013" Better than his later stuff. But I've had enough of Higgins for a while. They just aren't clever enough. "
— Mailmanr5, 4/20/2013" 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. "
— Etchison, 3/4/2013" Sean Dillon is one of my favorite characters. This was great with the supposedly sunken gold. "
— Paul, 2/24/2013" 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. "
— Joe, 12/16/2012" A good story featuring Sean Dillon. "
— Ginny, 3/11/2012" Ok book, not so great. It was good in the way, Dillon goes to meet the President, otherwise, the plot is very usual. "
— Suresh, 5/11/2011" 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. "
— Lynette, 4/7/2011" 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. "
— Sandra, 4/2/2011" Quite an enjoyable story, Irish intrigue, greed, mystery and a few laughs. And the good guy wins. "
