Product Description

Jack Higgins, the undisputed master of action and suspense is back with a brand new adventure featuring the unstoppable Sean Dillon. For intelligence operative Sean Dillon, it is a routine passport check. But the events it will lead to will be as bloody as any he has ever known. The man he stops at Heathrow airport is Caspar Rashid, born and bred in England, but with family ties to a Bedouin tribe fiercely wedded to the old ways, as Rashid has just found out to his pain. His thirteen-year-old daughter, Sara, has been kidnapped by Rashid's own father and taken to Iraq to be married to a man known as the Hammer of God, one of the Middle East's most feared terrorists. Dillon has had his own run-ins with the tribe, and when the distraught man begs him for help, he sees a chance to settle some old scores -- but Dillon has no idea of the terrible chain of events he is about to unleash, nor of the implacable enemies he is about to gain. Before his journey is done, many men will die -- and Dillon may be one of them.

Customer Reviews

A concerned reader
As an avid reader of the Sean Dillon books i was looking forward to this new book but wow! was i disapointed . Like the other reviewer i feel the author is been a bit lazy in his story lines. The plot of the book is very similar to previous books ( just how many members of the Rashid family are there??) and how many times do people come to kill the main characters and end up dead themselves. The other main gripe is the authors use of character names and scenes ie The old man in village pub who's called Harker, this senario and name has been countless times in the books.
If there is to be a new adventure for Dillon i think the plot has to be better , the characters developed , the scenes updated and the plot has to be miles better.

same as before
both my husband and I waited for this book as we have enjoyed all the previous dillon books but this one was a big let down,very predictable,same old story,no surprises,no twists,nothing to keep you wanting to get to the end.Infact this book just stopped on the last page.However that won't stop us waiting for the next dillon book as we know how good they have been in the past.

Tiresome, Repeatable.
A very tired author. Not in the same class as his all action previous books.Sean Dillion is hardly involved.Travels at a good pace with very little fact attached.
Buy his earlier paper backs for a good read and value for money.
