Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

The main plot device in Higgins's new thriller has a certain comic-strip blaze to it: a female British motorcyclist in black leather who carries a Beretta pistol and kills only to create chaos. This angel of death is also Britain's greatest actress, Grace Browning, relishing her new role as assassin of political activists of every stripe, be they Arab or Israeli, Catholic or Protestant, CIA or KGB, East End gangster or American senator. Browning belongs to a group that calls itself "January 30," seemingly in honor of Bloody Sunday in Belfast but actually in honor of nothing but the chaos that she and her homosexual superior, an old KGB hand who's now on Prime Minister John Major's staff, hope will usher in a worldwide Communist state. Pitted against January 30 and Browning are Brigadier Charles Ferguson of the PM's elite Group Four and his most devilish agent, returning Higgins hero Sean Dillon (On Dangerous Ground), ex-actor, ex-IRA hit man and master makeup artist. It's assassin vs. assassin, actor against actor, in this shallow and far-fetched yet exciting yarn, which needs all of Higgins's considerable expertise to stay on course as it hurtles from one nervy thrill to the next. BOMC main selection.

From Library Journal

Sean Dillon, a former Irish terrorist turned undercover agent, and his boss, Brigadier Charles Ferguson, make their latest appearance (following On Dangerous Ground, Putnam, 1994) in a lively but rather predictable shoot-'em-up set primarily in the United Kingdom. A terrorist group, born from communism, is killing in the name of Irish nationalism. Their real purpose, however, is to foment anarchism and chaos among the major powers. Can Dillon, partner Hannah Bernstein, and Ferguson track down this band and prevent additional murder? Given the author's writing talent, it is disappointing to find the characters barely sketched and the plot clunking from one episode to the next. Unhappily, by attributing his characters' need for mayhem solely to bloody episodes witnessed in their youth, he cheapens the achievements of real people who have managed to survive Bloody Sunday and other violence. Purchase only where Higgins has a following.?Elsa Pendleton, Boeing Computer Support Svcs., Ridgecrest, Cal.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Fantastic Story, Oct 17 2003
By Vincent Giovannini (Reno, Nevada USA) - See all my reviews
This was a fantastic story! The plot was able to change with little hints. This book like many of Jack Higgins' are great at charcter build up. It will make you want to keep reading till the very end. I would like to quote Tom Clancy, "JACK HIGGINS IS THE MASTER."

3.0 out of 5 stars Higgins As Usual!, Jun 19 2003
By Melvin Hunt (Cleveland,, Texas United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This Higgins book has a female assassin who uses a motorcycle
as her means of helping with her killings. In real life our
master assassin is Grace Browning an actress. She is in the services of a group called September 30. Their goal is to use the assassinations to create chaos and install a Communist state.
Her superior is an old KGB agent who is on Prime Minister John Major's staff. Of course it falls on our hero Sean Dillon to stop this group. He comes through as usual.While this is an

interesting book it is no where close to the caliber of "Eye of
The Storm".

4.0 out of 5 stars I liked it
I happened to think this was a passable novel. Jack has always been better with historical fiction. Maybe I'm just biased, seeing as how I love the period of WWI and WWII. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars A challenging thriller
This thriller is a grabber! Higgins is in top- form. I give this book 4 stars out of five because it went a little slower to read than his others. Still packs a wallop. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars It is a Boring, dull book unlike some of the others
This book is about a terrorist group called Januanry 30. This book is wildly imaginative and you have to use the maximum of your imagination to follow it. Read more
