Synopsis

The hero of The Eagle Has Landed returns in a Cold War adventure that pits two IRA veterans against a ruthless mercenary whose only ideology is greed. Terrorist-for-hire Frank Barry has been wreaking havoc in Germany and France, with backing from the KGB. His next mission might be his deadliest, as Barry plans to steal a state-of-the-art missile and sell it to the highest bidder. Only Barry’s longtime rivals, retired IRA gunman Liam Devlin and his ally Martin Brosnan, can prevent the missile from falling into the wrong hands. But first Devlin must stage a thrilling jailbreak to free Brosnan before the men set off on a gripping race against the clock to eliminate Barry and his reign of terror. From the New York Times–bestselling author of Rain on the Dead, Eye of the Storm, and countless other action-packed thrillers, this is an “exciting and believable” journey into the dangerous world of spies, assassins, and soldiers of fortune (The  New York Times).

I recently reread, and rather surprisingly enjoyed Higgins' classic WWII thriller The Eagle Has Landed -- and that led me to seek this out.

Liam Devlin! Need I say more? The old veteran, now in his 60s returns for another spectacular performance along with one of his protégés (Martin Brosnan), settling personal scores and causing mayhem along the way.

I was in one of my favorite haunts once again, the library when I came across one of my favorite authors books. It's an oldie from 1982 but if you like Jack Higgins's I'm sure you will like this one. He always manages to keep your fingers moving and it's a good way to start off the New Year. I gave it......more

Necesitaba algo "de transición", un libro entretenido pero que no me apasionara, me hiciera amar u odiar, algo ligero. Eso es justo lo que he encontrado por aquí, una novela de espías al uso, muy bien contada y con muchas vueltas y acción. El protagonista es un "pistolero" del IRA que acaba enredado......more
