About this ebook
The past comes back to haunt black ops specialist Sean Dillon and his colleagues in this New York Times bestselling novel of terrorism, revenge, and a very old nemesis...
On a dark summer night, two Chechen mercenaries emerge from the waters off Nantucket to kill a high-value target, the former President of the United States. Unfortunately for them, the president has guests that night, including Sean Dillon and his colleague, Afghan war hero Captain Sara Gideon.
The Chechens do not survive the night, but Dillon is curious about how they even got on the island. What he discovers sends a chill through his bones—a name from Dillon’s distant past. If this man is working with the terrorists now, the assassination attempt is only the beginning—and next time, the results may be much, much different.

Any Jack Higgins book with Sean Dillon as the protagonist is going to be good, but not necessarily great. This entry in the series falls into the "good" category. It is a decent addition to the Dillon/ Ferguson collection, but falls a bit short in the suspense department. It was just a bit too predictable. That said, Higgins on a slightly off day is better than most writers on a good day.

Another Sean Dillon and colleagues chasing AQ while AQ is after them. Getting repetitive and books are getting shorter. Needs a.lot more effort by author to get his creativity back.

Too simplistic, too obvious. His books are all the same.
