A different subject (in a way) starting out in 1865 war-torn America with a Confederate officer who (as luck would have it) comes out of the war with the ill-gained riches of a 'ruffian' father. At first I questioned whether I was actually reading a Jack Higgins (Harry Patterson) novel or not as I was used to reading of Sean Dillon or Liam Devlin. I at least expected to be reading a novel set in a European or Asian setting, perhaps WWII so I was at first cautious. I soon became so engulfed in the book that I couldn't put it down and read it in just over a day. (Working full time, I might add!) I am looking for a sequel, surely there must be one? How could a writer leave us stranded with the hero and his girl aboard a ship bound for France and ultimately California? (where I hail from?) I want more...where can I find the sequel? (if it has been written?) Although simple to read it leaves you wanting more...thanks again to Jack Higgins ( Dr. Harry Patterson)
