Angel of Death

Since The Eagle Has Landed—one of the biggest-selling thrillers of all time—every novel Jack Higgins has written has become an international bestseller. He has had simultaneous number-one bestsellers in hardcover and paperback, and many of his books have been made into successful movies, including The Eagle Has Landed, To Catch a King, On Dangerous Ground, Eye of the Storm, and Thunder Point. He has degrees in sociology, social psychology, and economics from the University of London, and a doctorate in media from Leeds Metropolitan University. A fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, and an expert scuba diver and marksman, Higgins lives in Jersey on the Channel Islands.

Jack Higgins and Patrick MacNee are the perfect combination of writer and narrator. Higgins's latest espionage novel centers around a terrorist group calling itself "January 30th," which emerges with several strange goals, including stopping peace talks in Ireland. Sean Dillon, a former IRA member, now working for British intelligence, must stop the terrorist attacks. Patrick MacNee captures the ambiguity of the political intrigue with careful pauses and dramatic tension. His superb Irish accents increase the enjoyment of this presentation. I.Z.
