4.0 out of 5 stars Hide and Seek, WWII Style, Oct 31 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: The Eagle Has Flown (Mass Market Paperback)
A Review by Jace

The end of the Second World War is near, and Hitler is relentless. British Prime Minister, Winston Churchill, had been kidnapped by a secret Nazi spy group and no one knows his exact location. Except for one man Kurtis Steiner who is being held prisoner by the British forces. Jack Higgins enters the story as a young historian who must now find the keys to unravel the secret mysteries of the Nazi army. He is sent on a mission to Ireland to find the closest link to Kurtis Steiner, but is unknowing of what he will find. Higgins must fight his way through chambers, dungeons and ward of enemy spies and troops. Higgins is in for the fight of his life and he is bringing you along for the ride.

This book is a masterpiece. It shows the true horror of war from a different stand point. Many war books show you a view from the U.S. but this book gives you a look from the British and Nazi sidelines. It also has a truckload of suspense. I was awake at night wondering what would happen next. My head was full of predictions and guesses of who was to die next, and what was behind that door. My hair was on end through the entire story. This book also brought along enough action for everybody, and had leftovers. Higgins challenges his mind against the mind of a Nazi general and henchman. Higgins challenges tanks and specially trained troops. This book is a work of art.

I would recommend this book to anybody who has read a bond book. This novel blows good old James out of the water. It has mystery, suspense, and action. I was left with my jaw on the floor. Higgins has left his heart in this book, which makes it worth the read.

3.0 out of 5 stars a nice parallel to Eagle Has Landed, but not quite as good, Jul 10 2003
This review is from: The Eagle Has Flown (Mass Market Paperback)
Higgins revisits the premise of his classic The Eagle Has Landed and provides a good read in The Eagle Has Flown. This book does not quite reach the level of his earlier book, but it is definitely interesting and worth reading; certainly one of the better Higgins novels. The opening of The Eagle Has Flown is well-done and provides a nice hook, but overall it doesn't quite measure up to its worthy predecessor. Close, but no cigar, Mr. Higgins.

3.0 out of 5 stars This Author Can Do Better, April 11 2002
By John G. Hilliard (Toronto Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Eagle Has Flown (Mass Market Paperback)
This was the follow up to the Eagle Has Landed. I wish he had not tried so hard to get my hard earned dollars and spent more time working on this story. I fell into it thinking it would be as good as the first and came away disappointed. I also think he has put out much better books and this one was the first to really disappoint me. The book is just an average book. This book seams rushed, almost like the author did not want to take the time to really develop either the story or the characters. Because of the light development it does not hold your attention. Overall it is just an average, light World War Two action novel that does not do him credit.
