Summary: A approving reflection on a great book
Review: A novel that helps to fill in all those "wonderings" when reading all the other great novels by Mr. Higgins. It is a throughly entertaining read, with a unexpected ending, that makes you want to go back and reread the others to review the characters. I can't wait for the next one.

Summary: Nice Read
Review: Great and engrossing novel. Jack Higgins as always has plotted the true story about the twins,Max and Harry Kelso, who were born flyers, in a very enchanting way. Once you start the book you never feel like keeping it down. The book touched me soo much that I thought of nothing but Kelso twins for days.

Summary: Good story.
Review: While by no means spectacular, this book had an interesting--yet cliche--plot. The twin brothers, son of an American WWI fighter pilot and German nurse, both are trained in their youth to become great dogfighters. After their American father's death their mother returns to her German estate with one of the sons. The plot develops as the two sons encounter each other on opposite sides in WWII. The audio tapes were ok to listen to, my complaint being that the sole reader tried to modulate his voice for different characters, but was noticably inconsistent, making it difficult on occasion to know who was talking.

Summary: Most disappointing
Review: I'm a big fan of Higgin's works but this book is far below the quality of his usual output. If you've never read Higgins, don't do yourself a disservice by starting with this novel as he's written far better works. Try THE EAGLE HAS LANDED, SOLO, COLD HARBOUR, ANGEL OF DEATH and DRINK WITH THE DEVIL. The main problem with this particular, outside of it being too predictable , is simply that too much of the story is put into narrative form. In other words, Higgins rushes through what happens in a summary fashion rather than detailing the pieces more and laying out the emotional context.

Summary: Truly Awful--Three hundred page cliche'
Review: I picked this up having read and enjoyed some of Jack Higgins' earlier works such as "The Eagle Has Landed", which was truly a good thriller. This book is a fine example of what happens when an author becomes so successful that he can write whatever he wants and it will get published. This book is garbage. The characters seem practically lifted from Len Deighton's 'Winter' and every single situation is a cliche, as is almost every utterance from page one to the last page, which I arrived at with much relief and after much thought about whether the trip was worth it.
The basic premise of this book is that two brothers end up on opposite sides in WWII (read Deighton's 'Winter') and supposedly are forced to work together to kill Churchill. If they refuse, their snobbish and incredibly ignorant mother will be strangled with piano wire by Himmler. The characters go through the motions like cardboard cutouts, except they are less realistic, and the plot is just plain inane.
This is one of the worst books I ever read, and Jack Higgins should be ashamed of himself.
