Description
Sean Dillon is back, and the world is at stake
An eminent Iranian scientist has made a startling breakthrough in nuclear weapons research, but he can’t stand the thought of his regime owning the bomb. He would run if he could, but if he does, his family dies. He is desperate, and he doesn’t know what to do.
It is up to Sean Dillon and the Prime Minister’s private army to think of a plan. Most particularly, it is up to their newest member, an intelligence captain and Afghan war hero named Sara Gideon, who thinks there just might be a way to pull it off.
But plans have a way of going awry. And as the operation races from Paris and Syria to Iran and the Saudi Arabian desert, the only certainty is that blood will be spilled.
Reviews
Best of the recent works
4By JohnawcOver the last 30 odd years, I have managed to read everything that Jack Higgins has published in the US. Although not Harvard Classics, they are normally very entertaining and a good way to pass a long flight. Some of his more recent books were becoming too formulaic, and I thought that it might be time to move on. This one renewed my faith. Probably his best since "The Flight of Eagles," there were plot twists throughout with a couple of good ones in the last ten percent of the book. Along with a new breadth of characters, some of the longstanding characters were less prominent in this book allow more plot variation and fodder for the future. I am actually quite glad that another Higgins book will cross my desk. If that were not to happen it would be like losing a long term friend.The Death Trade
5By Super ClockFast moving action. Easy to read, as it kept the reader's attention. Will recommend this book to all my friends.The Death Trade
5By Ghostrover78Great read. Jack Higgins never disappoints. Been reading him forever. Sean, Sara, Roper and the Salters entertaining as always. Interesting to see if Rashid Declan will become part of the Minister's merry band of warriors in future story's.
