Rating:  Summary: Action Packed Book! Review: Higgins finally took a break from Sean Miller. The choice of the area of Greece for this book was very good. This book has it all,good hereos,good villains and plenty of action. The ex commandoes performance was also very good. The book had a very good ending. I still hope for a sequel. A very good book.
Rating:  Summary: A long intro for a short plot Review: The introduction promises a daring adventure of an ex-commando to raid a heavily guarded island fortress. The commando, whom the readers were told to have no choice due to severe economic circumstances. It appears to promise to be another exciting tale of infiltration like Alistair Mclean's "Where Eagles Dare".Unfortunately, it turned out to be only a quarter of the tale. The author took more than half the book to reach the recruitment of the hero into the rescue mission - which were told in the introduction. The raid itself was barely a chapter's worth. Readers can spot the double-cross miles away. Last but not least, what is the judgment ? This book would have been given 3 stars for fair writing if it hadn't been for the misleading title and introduction.

Rating:  Summary: HIGGNS' BEST! Review: THIS IS MY FAVORITE BOOK OF ALL TIME. A STORY OF LIFE, LOVE, HATE, FRIENDSHIP AND, THE FORCES OF CIRCUMSTANCE. HIGGINS PAINTS A VIVID PICTURE OF KYROS. I FIND THIS BETTER THAN ANY OTHER HIGGINS BOOK BECAUSE IT IS TOLD IN THE FIRST PERSON AND YOU KNOW SAVAGE'S THOUGHTS. HIGGINS LEAVES THE END OPEN FOR A SEQUAL AND I HOPE WE GET ONE SOON. I COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN!
