One of Two of the Worst Books I've Read,
By A Customer
This review is from: Edge Of Danger (Audio Cassette)
In every way this book is truly terrible. The plot is not surprising and ridiculous in places. The characters are poorly created and I had no interest in any of them. Character interaction is by far the worst aspect of the book!! As others have described the battles and gun-fights always seem to be lobsided and very poor. The idea that that the warring parties can get together many times and discuss issues with one another while no one ever trying to raise a weapon or kill the other is laughable, they only seem to threaten and taunt each other time and time again.I cannot see how anyone can enjoy this book or believe that it is good and enjoyable!! They need to try reading some different books by different authors and try some new genres.

Safety a priority,
This review is from: Edge of Danger (Mass Market Paperback)
Unlike most other books written by Jack Higgins, "Edge of Danger" suffers from several major problems. Rather than careful plotting and suspense, the narrative descends spectacularly into a series of uneven gunfights. While this makes for some reasonable- if shallow reading, the plot is further marred by the unerring success rate of the protagonist Sean Dillon (in one of many appearances) and his nigh-on invulnerability.The premise is simple: A nefarious, rich family with both Engliah and Arab heritage hatches a plot to overturn the world order while lining their pockets. As expected, ex-IRA Sean Dillion is pitted against the undertakings and is characteristically successful in thwarting their plans. While at times interesting, "Edge of Danger" is an uneven read, punctuated with frequent doses of shallow action and insufficient character development/description. What is initially an interesting premise is marred by the invincibility of Sean Dillion and the lack of any concrete narrative structure. "The Eagle has Landed" remains Jack Higgins's finest offering

HIGGINS IS ON A HIGH WITH THIS ONE,
By
This review is from: Edge of Danger (Mass Market Paperback)
Taut and tense, an explosion of sequential thrill packed events - these are hallmarks of the popular novels springing from the pen of the seemingly inexhaustible Jack Higgins. "Edge Of Danger," his 32nd suspense laden powerhouse is no exception.The Belfast born author now brings us a harrowing tale with former IRA member, Sean Dillon, confronted by the Rashid's, an English/Arab family sworn to avenge the killing of one of their own by a Russian diplomat who was driving drunk. When the diplomat is provided immunity by Russia and America, vengeance is sought with the life of the American president. Action swerves throughout the world until a terrifying finale takes place in a remote castle.
