- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Ok, I'm a massive Jack Higgins fan and have bought all his back catologue over xmas, so I am gonna read them probably every other book until they are finished (unless I get bored). The violent enemy, like so many of Higgins books is centered around the IRA. This book was written in the 60's and comes at a point where they were struggling to continue to remain a united front due to money issues. The main character in held in prison (a seemingly very secure placement) but is contacted by old associates and a plan is put in place for him to break out, once out he is expected to repay the favour by completing a 'Job' for an old associate. As always with Higgins, you can expect a number of people to lose kneecaps etc. The plot rattles along at a good pace with a few unexpected twists at the end. As an introduction to higgins I would suggest [The eagle has landed] but although the older novels such as this lack the complexity of later offerings, they are still a great read for action fans. The only reason I failed to give the book 5 stars is that at just under 200 pages I wanted more and actually finished it in one sitting.(By the way, if you want to read this book it may also be under the name Harry Patterson)
