"Of all the Higgins books I've read this is the best! Of course , like most of his others, I've read it twice... I know, I know, so many books, so little time, but sometimes I use books like others use TV. JH is good for that !"
— Marjorie (5 out of 5 stars)
" A great action novel. "
— Jan, 1/9/2014" Vintage Higgins. Both the protagonist and his opponent were sympathetic characters fighting against "the system". Made for interesting struggle in mind of the reader. "
— Dennis, 12/27/2013" I've been a Jack Higgins fan forever (well, since high school!) and this was one of his first books that I ever read. "
— Rebecca, 12/26/2013" A good adventure. But a little too contrived. "
— Paul, 11/22/2013" Good, but not his best "
— Carol, 9/28/2013" A very good book and a fast read. This isn't a huge novel. An advanced reader can probably knock this one out in a weekend. The story line and action is very good. "
— Bill, 5/20/2013" From the bestselling author of The Eagle has Landedand The Eagle has Flown comes a superbly crafted, classic cat-and-mouse tale of murder, love, music, and revenge that sweeps across a colorful, international landscape. "Unadulterated macho adventure (and) suspense."--Houston Post. Reissue. "
— Eddy, 2/25/2013" I liked this book. Classic Jack Higgins ACTION. "
— Charlie, 12/29/2012" Good fast paced read. Not a Sean Dillon book. The story takes place during the Troubles and Higgins takes the opportunity to introduce a new character. "
— Marion, 10/7/2012" Vintage Higgins thriller. "
— Tanvir, 9/15/2012" A good reading from Higgins, but not as good as The Eagle Has Landed "
— Oleksiy, 9/7/2012" I read this book when it first came out in paperback around 1980. I read it again on a whim on my Kindle. It's a very enjoyable spy/thriller/man's book. :) "
— Michael, 8/5/2012" Enjoyable read, the book kept my interest throughout - a little suspense and intrigue to keep it flowing nicely. "
— Lisa, 6/28/2012" Another great Higgins book. "
— Julian, 6/18/2012" aka The Cretan Lover. BC "
— Penny, 5/25/2012" Classical pianist assasin versus superforces soldier. "
— Michãel, 4/8/2012" The premise is pretty great-a concerto pianist who is a hit man, but somewhere the author just doesn't completely deliver. I liked the book, but never really loved it. "
— Joy, 3/23/2012" Incredibly superficial and really doesn't stand up to the test if time. Seems outdated and old fashioned, but not in an interesting or stylized way. "
