A disturbing tape has made its way to British intelligence, and from them to the new President of the United States: battlefield chatter from an ambush in Afghanistan, in which twelve U.S. Army Rangers and a British medical team died. Most of the Taliban voices are Afghan; however, the voice of the commander bears an Irish accent.

I start reading his books and it takes me forever to figure out who's who and who is good and who is bad. Not a whole lot of character development, just crazy violent things start happening and keep happening but thankfully the good guys always survive and win. (

This is my second Jack Higgins book this month. They are rousing, shoot 'em ups with minimal plot lines, and yet they are enjoyable. They remind me most of B-picture westerns of my youth where there was a continuous supply of bad guys which never seemed to diminish. The bad guys would have their innings but, in the end, justice always prevailed. Higgins tries to give his characters some life but they are mainly two-dimensional. All that said, I shall seek out more of his books. (
