Jack Higgins had some incredible books, but this is.... one word that comes to mind "terrible". Its confusing, badly written, hurried (especially the end). Higgens can do and has done much, much better. The book actually upset me since the bad guys seemed to be the good guys and the good guys the bad.Better luck next time. Don't bother reading this book, unless you want to turn the last page with a very sour look on your face. Suprised it was even published. Read The Eagle has Landed, its great.Hope this helped.
