Summary: Bad Company, Bad Book
Comment: Will the real Jack Higgins please stand up. Used to be all you had to do was see the name Jack Higgins and you just HAD to buy the book because it would be a winner. Not this time. Maybe it's the glut of World War II books or the interest in maniacal psychopaths such as Hitler, Stalin, Saddam, but this book didn't interest me whatsoever. The plot -- if you really want to call it a plot -- doesn't start until mid-read, and it is a very hazy plot at that. The ending was not an ending, but more of a stop sign -- put up at the end of a circuitous road involving a search for Adolph's Swiss bank fortune. Too many characters, good guys and bad guys, spoil the too-leisurely flow of the story line.

Summary: Standard Higgins, but MacNee AWFUL!
Comment: If you've ever heard a great professional reader like Frank Miller or David Case, you'll know why I can't stand it when authors or actors narrate a book. Patrick MacNee has no feel and his accents are atrocious. His idea of an Italian accent is to add an 'a' to the end of every word. Just awful!

Summary: Poor cousin sequel to Midnight run.
Comment: If you are a Jack Higgins fan you know what to expect. This book is by the numbers.
Higgins goes into great detail setting up the book with the Hitler diaries subplot. However, this whole section goes nowhere. It could have been much more interesting.
The Von Berger character as a villian does not really work out.
I listened to this on CD. Patrick MacNee does a creditable job as the reader.
If you have nothing better to do, you may want to pick this book up. Otherwise, I would try other works.
