Summary: Tarquin will capture your heart
Review: Although a bit corny in places, this work is very entertaining, and I feel fine recommending it to anyone who wants a riveting yet sentimental read. Never mind the unfeeling brothers who can't even see past a war; if you don't find yourself pulling for the bear, you have no heart.

Summary: jack higgins never fails to keep you in suspense
Review: I have been reading Jack Higgins books now for over 13 years and have spent many hours in second hand book shops searching for out of print books, mainly when Mr Higgins was writing as Harry Patterson, to collect all of his novels. Now that I have done this I wait impatiently for Mr Higgins to release a new book. When THE PRESIDENT'S DAUGHTER was released I obtained it straight away and the wait was well worth it. True Jack Higgins writing.

Summary: Forget Higgins, Get this because of Macnee!
Review: After "The President's Daughter," I found myself drifting away from Higgins, but a listening to Patrick Macnee's reading of "Drink with the Devil" made me want to venture back to the words of Higgins again, this time forgoing the hack words for the eloquence of Macnee's diction.The book is actually better than most of the later ones, but Macnee is, as is often said by Kelso in the book, "Marvelous."

Summary: One of his worst efforts
Review: I first must admit that I could not put down "Flight of Eagles". Not because it was so engrossing, but I was desparetly hoping that it would get better. Reasons abound for this poor review not the least of which is it's total predictability. The very end is seen comming by page 60 or sooner. The second reason for my discontent is that the two boys lives parallel each others so much that it is as if Mr. Higgins became tired and took a short cut by really only writing about one boy and then cloned the other. Next, why personalize the book by putting himself and his wife in the story? I am sure that Mr. Higgins will not let us down the next go around. He is capable of so much better as we have all seen in the past. Signed, A reader in New York by way of Connecticut.

Summary: Enjoyable Read
Review: If you like Jack Higgins other WWII books, you will like this one. It's very easy to read and the story kept me interested.

Summary: Best book in years
Review: I found the book well paced with great caracter development. Higgins is at his best when he combies history (Especialy WW 2) and fantsy. I enjoyed the book a great deal. The issue I had with the book was that the beginning reminded me a great deal of "The Eagle has landed" and elements of the plot seemed to be drawn from "Cold Harbor". But there were enough new twists to keep me interested.

Summary: Good, but not one of Higgins' best
Review: As big Jack Higgins fan, I must say his magic touch is slipping with Drink With the Devil, The President's Daughter, and now this. The story of two brothers, Max and Harry Kelso, trapped on opposite sides in World War II is terrific, but Mr. Higgins puts too much boring narrative in between. We were always told how many planes each brother shot down and the awards they received, but it would have been much more exciting had there been some description of the dogfights. And when there were descriptions of the aerial battles, there still seemed to be something lacking. Also, it isn't near the end when the plot to kill Eisenhower is finally put in motion, and I felt that the climax was much inferior to those of Mr. Higgins' other books. There also seems to be a lack of originality, as many of the characters seemed to be carbon copies of those from The Eagle Has Landed. Colonel Radl and Bubi Hauptmann, Joanna Grey and the Brown woman (it's been a while, so I've forgotten some names), Molly Prior and Harry's nurse love interest, etc. On the other hands, almost all of the characters were sympathetic ones with good traits, no matter which side they were on. The sole exception was, of course, Gestapo chief Heinrich Himmler, who even in death gives me shivers. After reading this and The Eagle Has Landed, I wouldn't be surprised if Himmler was the Devil himself. Anyway, the relationships Higgins put in were top-class. Harry-Max, the brothers-their mother, the brothers-Abe Kelso, Bubi-Max, Gallard-Max, Harry-nurse, the Brown woman-the Rodrigues brother (the best of all these good ones), and several more. I felt a sense of loss when the book ended. Kudos to Mr. Higgins for doing excellent research as well. I wonder if this, as well as The Eagle Has Landed, is really a true story. Guess we'll never know. By the way, I would have liked to know what happened to Adolf Gallard. Does anyone know?

Summary: An absolute page-turner!!
Review: This is one Hioggins I could not put down..then again I can never put down one of his books. The storyline was simple yet enthralled you so much that you felt you were really there in the storyline. I was kind of sad to finish it. I wanted it to go on and on....A must read for any WWII flying fan and Higgins fan alike!!

Summary: Only one problem
Review: There is only one problem with Jack Higgins, he doesn't write 10 books a year. This, the latest in a long line of winners, offers us a small autobiographical peak (truth or not) and is as tightly plotted as any. The great thing about Higgins is that he offers us completely unbelievable plots, then makes us believe them. Highly recommended.
