Synopsis

Dillon and company are back in the ultimate blockbuster from the legend that is Jack Higgins...

THE LEGEND IS BACK

Someone is targeting the members of the elite intelligence unit known as 'the Prime Minister's private army' and all those who work with them.

On Long Island, a trusted operative for the President nudges his boat up to a pier, when a man materializes out of the rain and shoots him. In London, General Charles Ferguson, adviser to the Prime Minister, approaches his car on a side street, when there is a flash, and the car explodes. In New York, a former British soldier takes a short walk when a man comes up fast behind him, a pistol in his hand.

For Sean Dillon the hunt is on, a very well-connected old nemesis has clearly become tired of their interference in his schemes. But proving it is going to be a difficult task, and surviving it the hardest task of all...

About this title

About the Author:

Since The Eagle Has Landed―one of the biggest-selling thrillers of all time―every novel Jack Higgins has written has become an international bestseller. He has had simultaneous number-one bestsellers in hardcover and paperback, and many of his books have been made into successful movies, including The Eagle Has Landed, To Catch a King, On Dangerous Ground, Eye of the Storm, and Thunder Point. He has degrees in sociology, social psychology, and economics from the University of London, and a doctorate in media from Leeds Metropolitan University. A fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, and an expert scuba diver and marksman, Higgins lives in Jersey on the Channel Islands.

From AudioFile:

With just the right touch of ironic detachment, Michael Page narrates this seventeenth Sean Dillon thriller about spies, dark men, and dark deeds. Page's performance is devoid of theatrics and melodrama but not energy. His many accents--including Russian, Irish, and British--are clear and accomplished, and he uses them to subtly differentiate the characters. In an attempt at political revenge, Vladimir Putin and the Russians are trying to destroy the entire private intelligence unit of the British prime minister. After assassination attempts occur in several locations around the globe, Dillon must identify who is targeting this elite group of special agents and why. An engrossing performance. S.C.A.
