Review by Barney

In 1969, Jake Cazalet saved the life of a Frenchwoman in Vietnam, and a brief passionate affair ensued. Years later in Paris, he was introduced to another beautiful young woman, his daughter. For many reasons, their relationship remained a secret. Some of these reasons include that fact that Cazalet is now the President of the United States. The American populous does not take kindly to illegitimate children when it comes to politicians. As I said before, Cazalet is now the president of the United States. Somehow, someone has discovered the truth about his daughter, and she is seized by a vicious extremist group. This group of men call themselves Macabees. They believe they are going to free Israel from its oppressors as Judas and his Macabees did in the fifth century. If the president does not comply with the kidnappers' demand, or uses any of America's security agencies to track them down, they will execute her. This forces Cazalet to make the toughest decision of his life. However, he only has ten days to decide. Desperate he turns to British operative Sean Dillon and Brigadier Charles Fergesun. If these two men cannot find hi daughter, the president will have to make the toughest decision of his life. He must choose between his daughter, whom he loves more than anything, and doing his duty to his country and not complying with terrorist demands. This is a great book for anyone who likes action and suspense. I would recommend this book to anybody, the reading is very easy and the story is never dull. This book forces you to keep reading.

A Very Good Read!

I am beginning to become a fan of Sean Dillon. He has been used very effectively by Higgins as a hero role. This book held my attention throughout. The President has a daughter who is in turn kidnapped by some Israeli extremists. Their on the President is that he nuke several Arab countries. Faced with this dilemna he is forced to call for help. Who else to save the day but Sean Dillon. As I had said before he has become an effective hero figure for Jack Higgins. Don't worry because Sean Dillon saves the day. This is a very good book. It has good action sequences as well as a good plot. Be sure to read it.

President, Terrorists and Sean Dillon What more do you Need?

Jack Higgins is getting better and better.The current President of the USA has a problem, his Illegitimate daughter has been kidnaped. Due to a security breach he calls on the English top secret 'Group 4' to help this department is the PM's private army, and run by Charles Ferguson and deadly rival to any group. Sean Dillon group 4's number one man is sent to help the President.Written by the master of suspence it is a gripping book that i find to be one of his best. For a long running series featuring Sean Dillon and co. it is even better.

Jack does it again with his fast paced increadible book!!

Jack Higgins how can you say anymore then he is the man. His main character has held millons gipping to the edge of there seats. His main character Sean Dillin is the perfect role.

THE PRESIDENT'S DAUGHTER - ANOTHER HIGGINS TRIUMPH

Jack Higgins has done it again with another brilliant chapter in the Sean Dillon saga. The formula for success shouldn't be altered and Higgins has stuck to it. Everyone needs a hero and Sean Dillon is definately mine. B R A V O. Don't read about the book, read the story and you be the judge!
