From Amazon.com

The President's Daughter is to thrillers what Hong Kong is to movies: hyperphysical and flashy, filled with international menace, and perfectly choreographed so there's no wasted action whatsoever. And like those movies, the book's a wonderful ride, particularly if you don't ask too many questions after you climb aboard. The characters are strictly Central Casting: a gallant war-hero president twitted by terrorists, a craggy old pro called out of retirement, an I.R.A. scoundrel with a heart of ... well, brass at least. The daughter of the title is a comely French countess (of course), who's kidnapped by a nefarious group of Israeli extremists. In return for her safety, they want Dad to nuke several Arab countries. Will he be forced to push the button, or will a trio of agents be able to reach her in time? Typical of the genre, the book's pull is the intelligence of the villains multiplied by the ingenuity of the heroes. The President's Daughter scores highly on both and readers itching for a globe-trotting game of cat-and-rat won't be disappointed. --Ce texte provient d'une édition qui n'est plus publiée ou qui est non diponible.


From Library Journal

Jake Cazalet was 26 years old when he rescued a young Frenchwoman in Vietnam. Their short, passionate affair resulted in a daughter, Marie, unknown to Jake during his meteoric rise from decorated war hero to senator to U.S. president. Now, he meets her briefly before her mother's death, and all agree her identity must be kept a secret. But someone has found out, and Marie's life is in danger unless the president meets terrorists' demands. Enter Brigadier Gen. Charles Ferguson and his man in the field, Sean Dillon, former IRA terrorist, who have reigned supreme in Higgins's Angel of Death (1995), Eye of the Storm (1992) and other novels. Dillon, an unforgettable character, is invincible at escape and unforgiving in battle, while Ferguson functions as the nerve center and master manipulator. Higgins devotees and fans of espionage and suspense will line up for this.

3.0étoiles sur 5 Standard Higgins, but not nearly as good as he used to be, Avril 9 2001
Par Mark S. Winger (Wood Dale, IL United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This review is from: Presidents Daughter (Paperback)
I have been a Higgins fan for a long time, but I am somewhat mystified as to why I still read him at this point. I think it's because I was so enthralled by "The Eagle Has Landed" years ago, and some of his other older books and the quick read that you get. However that being said, Higgins follows the same formula for every book and if you have read at least 3 of his books, then you know what is coming at every stage of the game. "The President's Daughter" is no different from a dozen other Higgins novels I have read. What I do appreciate is it's a quick read that's entertaining and doesn't make you think hard. If you want to give one Higgins book a shot, then read "The Eagle Has Landed", this was when he was at his best and is a quality novel. If you are a Higgins fan, then you'll read this book regardless, just don't be surprised that it doesn't stand out from many of his other books.

So what's the recommendation overall. If you are looking for a quick mindless read with adventure, then this is for you. If you want a book with a lot more substance and a believable adventure tale, then you need to look elsewhere.

5.0étoiles sur 5 The President's Daughter, Avril 3 2001

This review is from: Presidents Daughter (Paperback)
Ever since I read "The Eagle Has Landed" in the 70's, I have been a fan of Jack Higgins. Sean Dillon returns in "The President's Daughter". The President of the United States, Jake Cazalet, fathered a child during a brief affair while he was in Vietnam. Only he and the child's mother knew her true paternity, or so they thought. Almost thirty years later, the president's daughter, Marie de Brissac, is kidnapped by Israeli terrorists who hope to get Cazalet to support an effort by the US government to bomb Arab countries like Syria and Iraq. Cazalet opposes the initiative, and calls on Sean Dillon, ex-IRA enforcer now working for the British to try to find Marie and rescue her. In the meantime, this group kidnaps Dillon's colleague, Chief Inspector Hannah Bernstein. After finding out where the women are held, Dillon and American Blake Johnson stage a daring rescue. The suspense is taut, and I found it impossible to put down this excellent novel by the master of the thriller, Jack Higgins.

2.0étoiles sur 5 Less 1 star from his usual 3 (or 4 for his best works), Mars 30 2001
This review is from: Presidents Daughter (Paperback)
The scenario : an extremist pro-Israel terrorist group has access to the most sensitive Intelligence of the UK and the US, and also the US President's secret - an illegitimate daughter. They kidnapped her to force the President to launch surgical nuclear strikes against Israel's primary adversaries in the Middle-East.

Then, the plot just went on a completely wrong angle. They kidnapped Sean Dillon to act as their messenger to the President. Though what happened later were not bad for an action thriller, I keep wondering why did they want to get a man like Sean Dillon, and more importantly, Charles Ferguson, involved. They could have convinced the President they got the girl and they mean business without involving people who eventually caused their downfall.
