Review # 2 was written on 2010-04-22 00:00:00 John Walker I'm not a big Higgins fan, but I thoroughly enjoyed this one. Probably that's because it's a whole lot like reading a James Bond novel (of whom I am a big fan), just more contrived and a lot less literary than anything Ian Fleming ever wrote. Sean Dillon makes for a likable, ruthless hero, and this is the first time readers get to see him portrayed as a good guy. The book is a quick, easy read: it's sparsely detailed and dialog-heavy--as if it were written for people who don't usually like novels. It's a story that features characters and settings from all over the globe, and Higgins does a fantastic job of giving each character a unique dialect, as well as describing the exotic locations with native-like authenticity. Not too many surprises here, but fans of old-fashioned spy stories should be more than satisfied.
