Synopsis

Jack Higgins “doesn’t stint on action” (Publishers Weekly) in this New York Times bestseller featuring black ops specialist Sean Dillon.

On a Long Island pier, a trusted operative for the President is wounded by gunfire. In London, an adviser to the Prime Minister approaches his car when it explodes. In New York, British soldier-turned covert operative Sean Dillon is approached by a man with a pistol in his hand...

Someone is targeting members of an elite intelligence unit known as “the Prime Minister's private army” and all those who work with them. The culprit has a full complement of resources at his command—and Dillon has an idea of who it may be: an old nemesis out to destroy the unit out once and for all. But proving it will be difficult. And surviving it might be impossible.

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.
