Enjoyed the plot. The angle of making the Muslims the “enemy” during the book was uncomfortable in continuing that stereotype.

A much more enjoyable book than the last two. Mainly because there was no more involvement of the Arab/British family of bad people (I think Dillon killed them all off, thankfully).
The story is much more Irish/Dillon-centric in this go-round -- a better direction for Higgins' stories. There is U.S. involvement at the beginning, but it turns into a good ol' fashion Dillon vs. the Russians story. 3.5 stars.

I think I listened to this book awhile ago and I enjoyed it then and I enjoyed it again this week as I listened to it during my road trip.

Another 'stuck in a remote Irish cottage with no television and dodgy internet' read which followed PD James and that Dawn of Empires thing... it was this or something in German, some kind of trashy 'middle-aged woman misery chicklit' thing and Jeffrey Archer.
OK, so I've never read a Sean Dillon book before but my instinct was one of 'Calling Gary-Stu!' If the editor had removed every reference to Sean Dillon being 'the best' at whatever, it would've been a third shorter.
On the other hand, it was kind of gripping in that 'well, I haven't got anything better to do' sort of way, and it's head and shoulders above the Archer choice - I never did get that bored.
Maybe if I'd read a Sean Dillon before I might've enjoyed it better. As it is, I remember few details and cared about even fewer...
