- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Was introduced to Sean Dillion in this series and found the read to be enjoyable and an easy read. Again, not one of those books that intrigue you as you try to figure out the plot/motive/etc., instead it is plainly laid out path, don't want to say predictable but if you've read enough of these type books iy can seem to be.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Higgins takes us off on a new course ... the Russians. A fair amount of suspense has returned to the tales. Alas with both the General and the Superintendent out of action, it's to imagine where we head from here. Someway or another, there always seems to be a plentiful supply of Irish to fill out the lesser or transitory roles but with few of them rising to the level of the main characters. I'm looking forward to where we go from here.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Stories of intrigue are usually intriguing, not so with Dark Justice!Commencing with a plot to assassinate the US President one has an immediate flashback to a previous novel with a remarkably similar plot development, only this time rather than the perpetrator being an IRA soldier hired by rich industrialist with Islamic fundamentalist views it is a Islamic fundamentalist backed by a rich industrialist. Naturally the attempt is thwarted by Ferguson/Dillon/Blake&Co at which point they commence hunting down the backer. Once again Dillon visits an old lady, kisses her on the forehead and the next day she's dead of an "accident", quite amazing that the old ladies he kisses on the forehead keep drowning accidentally in the Thames.Enter the IRA a bit of run around and then Dillon gets his man and the story ends. At which point we're apparently meant to have forgotten about the Islamic fundamentalist training camps which trained the aforementioned assassin which are never actually dealt with in any manner. Overall, it fills in time but really is a rather unimpressive work filled with Déjà vu plot developments.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is the first Hoggins that I have ever read and I don't think I've ever read a book quite as fast before. Very pacy action thriller that doesn't let up from start to finish. It lacks a bit in detail and characterisation from what I would prefer in a book, but the action comes thick and fast. Reminded me of a Andy McNab novel a little
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Great intrigue and plot twists. A botched presidential assassination attempt leads to the discovery of a group of people intent on sewing the seeds of terror in society. An American White House agent teams up with a British Intelligence Officer to try to untangle a conspiracy web that is so widespread and shocking that even they can hardly believe their own findings.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Sean Dillion is back, along with his team from the UK. The team starts off with Roper lending intelligence to the USA, in order to prevent the assisination of the President. Successful in that endeavor, but failing to capture and question the would-be-assasin, the team heads off to iraq to find who ordered the hit. iraq leads them back to London, where they question of the the men who has supported the organization who ordered the hit. The man heading this group is furious at this capture, and sends his henchmen to London to kill not only the man captured who is talking, But Dillion, Roper, Slater, Ferguson, and Benstein as well.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A failed assassination attempt on the life of the American president reveals a world wide network of agents intent on creating terror threats. US and UK intelligence agencies work together to track down and eradicate the terror network. Read by Sean Barrett who does of a good job of the different voice characterisations.
