    About this audiobook

    Introducing Sean Dillon: Terrorist. Assassin. Hero.

    Sean Dillon is a hired killer. The IRA, the PLO, ETA – he’s worked for them all. Now, with the Gulf War raging, the Iraqis need his services for an apocalyptic strike at the heart of the West. If it succeeds, it will shake the world to its foundations. Leaders will be wiped out, terror will spread: a devastating blow against democracy.

    Dillon has 10 Downing Street in his sights but British Intelligence are on his trail. They have hired a killer to stalk a killer – a mortal enemy who is hell-bent on revenge.

    As the lightning strikes and the bullets fly, Sean Dillon will discover how it feels to be at the eye of the storm…

      One of the only series I've ever read hit-or-miss and out of order, and I'm going back to the beginning to read (in order, this time) the ones that I've missed. This was a solid debut, but once again a pretty lame (and completely avoidable) plot move on Higgins's part tarnished the resolution for me. Since I've read more recent titles in the series, I knew that a certain protagonist survived, but I didn't know until now how/why he survived, and the reason was/is ... lame. But it was a fun read, and a reminder of what dominated the news headlines a couple of decades ago.
    • 4/5
      With each volume I read from this gifted author, I am more impressed with how he weaves his stories. In many cases, it's as if he writes the story of the good guys and then adds the bad guys so that the bad guys always seem to be one step ahead at every step. Higgins also very cleverly involves contemporary events into his fiction. Very many of his characters are actively evil or former evil players. Only the occasional ordinary good person pass through his stories and most of them meet early ends as the series progresses. Even so, every work so far has been a rousing performance.
    • 3/5
      This is not my favorite genre, but this was, despite some rough patches in the narrative, a very good read. A very sinister hero. Master of disguise. No ideological motive. Just the game. Failed attempt to machine gun Margaret Thatcher. Failed attempts to mortar John Majors and the war cabinet.
