4.0 out of 5 stars The fastest read of your life... but quite a trip ! April 5 2004
By Jon Smith
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This is the 4th Jack Higgins book I have read. Usually I read them in one evening, but I was finished 'The Khufra Run' in less than 2 and a half hours.
Fortunately it was well worth it.

The plot moved well, but there was a slight lack in character development. But that's to be expected with such a short read.

The action sequences were especially slick. Good way to pass time. I recomend it.

3.0 out of 5 stars The Khufra Run May 6 2002
By Joel DeJong
Format:Mass Market Paperback
An easy read. Breezed through it in no time but lacked the usual in depth personal look that I am use to. Great action and interesting plot. Some of the dialoge seemed forced and out of place. This is the second book I have read by Higgins and am just as pleased with the story line in this book as with the one in the other. Overall I'd recomend this book to someone looking for a good, fast moving, light read.

1.0 out of 5 stars Khufra Run is a waste of time Aug 19 2010
By JR - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
As a big fan of Jack Higgins I bought Khufra Run not realizing I would be in for a huge disappointment. As I read I found it hard to believe that it was even written by the same guy who had written The Eagle has Landed. Filled with repetition and boring English speech cliches, it was nothing like the Jack Higgins I was used to. Then I looked at it a little closer and saw that this was an early work not even originally published under Higgin's name originally, but under the name of one James Graham. As explanation Jack Higgin's is not this author's real name. According to Wikipedia that's merely one of several pseudonyms used by one English author whose real name is Harry Patterson. It seemed to me that the publisher was now trying to sell an inferior work written in Harry Patterson's earlier career , now attempting to simply capitalize on the later well-deserved reputation of "Jack Higgins." I like Jack Higgins.....but this early work is atrocious and you're not really buying a Jack Higgin' quality effort.

5.0 out of 5 stars Vortex of Ruthless Hatred Jan 18 2000
By Boda Zepha - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
When the brillance of an author explodes off of the first page, you hesitate for a moment and ask if you have the courage to continue. Simple understanding of the complex twists that surround this emotional joy ride of black comedy and unrelenting action will get you only so far. You have to let these characters entrench themselves in your mind. The grace with which a.k.a. Higgins writes, skips across every page into a dizzying aray of unbridaled passion and furious battles and schemes that would leave John Woo hacking in the back row. Don't read this masterpiece as a favor to yourself, just read as a signal to every other author to step up to the raised plate.
