Dark Justice

I continue to plow through Jack Higgins titles at a fairly brisk pace. His novels of intrigue and espionage are like an open bag of potato chips; you just can’t eat one! With “Dark Justice,” Higgins addresses the post-9/11 world of anti-terrorism – both in the U.S. and in the U.K. In each nation, the response to heightened threats of terrorism has been to create a shadow counter-terrorism team – one reporting soley to the U.S. President, the other reporting to the Prime Minister.

The plot ingredients for “Dark Justice” include a former IRA terrorist who now works for the Prime Minister in combatting terror, a Russian oil mogol who is a friend of Putin, a failed assassination attempt on the American President, and internal conflict within the Prime Minister’s shadow team about the moral dilemma of operating “above the law” in order to have a fighting chance to thwart the terrorists.

As always, Higgins adds his own special blend of spices – well-drawn characters and unanticipated plot twists that makes this “bag of potato chips” delicious, crunchy and satisfying.

I particularly like the Sean Dillon character. I started reading Jack Higgins years ago and then after a lapse in my reading habits, have started reading again. Dillon is quite the intriguing man…always up for a fight so to speak but underneath a big soft spot for those he really cares for…..he is smart, reliable, and in fact even honorable….his past activiites in the IRA surfaces from time to time in these fast paced stories. I’ve been a fan of jack Higggins’ writings for quite a number of years and recommend them highly to those readers who enjoy intrigue.

I read book 13 and a few others by this author before receiving my Kindle as a gift. Now I order the books in the series in order. I like how Higgins books end. They do not continue. He is very adapt in bringing the reader into knowing each characters’ personalities without being boring. I love Sean Dillon, Ferguson and each protagonist he introduces. I will read every book!

Just what I was looking for with the Sean Dillion character in full form. Enjoyed this from start to finish. I also like the Irish setting of his books.

It had been a couple years since I read The Sean Dillon Series, however this one was not the best but it was a good read. Too many characters, and I sort of got lost for awhile, but if you are familiar with the main characters, you can find your way back.
There were more typos than previous books, but all in all it was a good read.
I love the main characters in this series and an waiting to see what Ferguson and his crew will to next!!
