Product Description:
Jack Higgins pits the heroic covert intelligence team of Blake Johnson and Sean Dillon against a hidden foe in a very different kind of game-- with a very different set of rules.

The story starts out in the United States with a failed endeavor on the President's life. It evolves from there with the who, how, why of how the plan was foiled. The story continues across the ocean with the original plotters upset at having their plans destroyed. This book is well written, keeps the reader in suspense, has intrigue, would be terrorists, heroes in wheelchairs, former IRA members, Russians, and more. This will go on my bookcase of keepers.

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 endeavor 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'm so happy to see others panning this book. I picked it up to get a feel for his work which is so popular (every book seems to find itself on the NY Times bestseller list). I've been consistently astonished with how poorly it reads. I have trouble even maintaining my concentration while reading it. I'm going to try others - there has to be something here - but not too many.

This is another good but not great outing by my all time favorite author. Jack Higgins is usually really up to par. Here, he is what I thought was a great book, was an ok job! I was always interested in finding out how each book could end, here I found out how the book actually ended. Great Characters, situations, and yes his hero is back. Dillion is here. He is slowly revealing his age. Usually I am very busy reading every book this author comes up with.

The plot is basic, involving trips to Iraq, London and Ireland.
The book is full of 2-dimensional characters that you don't care for. The dialog is lacklustre; the "action" is simplistic and by-the-numbers. Even the grand finale is over in a few pages.
Dillon runs around the world saving everybody except the US president. There's nothing "thrilling" about this story at all.
I wouldn't have believed it was a Jack Higgins book if it didn't have the name on the front cover.
Don't waste your money.
