Typical Higgins - excellent story telling with a style that makes you want to continue reading. The two central characters were interesting with good support from an array of people. The book was not too long which I was grateful for as too many adventure stories go on forever without adding to the central story. Higgins managed to build the story and characters in just over 200 pages. Excellent bedtime/holiday reading. ( )

Solo is a quick paced tale of revenge, politics, and espionage. It is the story of how an ex-SAS solider seeks revenge for the death of his daughter, who was unfortunately killed during a political assassination.

The characters are formed almost completely by their introduction, and thus their subsequent actions do not evoke surprise, in fact you can predict them.

There is nothing extraordinary about the book as the story is too neat, but it was a pleasant way to pass some time.
