I agree with other reviewers that the book has continual 'action', but often it seems that the 'action' is generally more a straight telling of a story without much description. I found the climax to be more involved in this regard, but I actually contemplated not even reading the end because there was no suspense as to how it would occur. All in all, a weak read, mildly entertaining, but could have skipped it and not missed it. (  ) taylorsteve | Jul 30, 2009 |  A good read that gets you right into the action from page one. This is the second "Sean Dillon" book that I have read by Jack Higgins though I preferred "Drink With the Devil". Here, Dillon has been asked to rescue the daughter of the President from some Israeli extremists. Like other Higgen's books, the characters are net very complex (with the exception perhaps of Sean Dillon). What I liked about this book is, like an old B-movie, it never slows down. Dillon and his connections have almost no time to solve a mystery and prevent an international crisis…and he's only in it for the money and the fact that he would hate to see a nice woman like the President's daughter get rubbed out by a crazy man. Reserve this book for the beach. Don't expect Wuthering Heights and prepare to turn some pages real fast. (  ) dbsav | Apr 4, 2006 |  no reviews | add a review
