    About this audiobook

    Jack Higgins pits the heroic covert intelligence team of Blake Johnson and Sean Dillon against a hidden foe in a very different kind of game—with a very different set of rules.

    It is night in Manhattan. The President of the United States is scheduled to have dinner with an old friend, but in the building across the street, a man has disabled the security and stands at a window, a rifle in his hand.

    Fortunately, his attempt is not successful—but this is only the beginning. Someone is recruiting a shadowy network of agents with the intention of creating terror. Their range is broad, their identities masked, their methods subtle. White House operative Blake Johnson and his opposite number in British intelligence, Sean Dillon, set out to trace the source of the havoc, but behind the first man they find another, and behind him another still. And that man is not pleased by the interference. Soon he will target them all: Johnson, Dillon, Dillon’s colleagues. And one of them will fall…

      Higgins takes us off on a new course ... the Russians. A fair amount of suspense has returned to the tales. Alas with both the General and the Superintendent out of action, it's to imagine where we head from here. Someway or another, there always seems to be a plentiful supply of Irish to fill out the lesser or transitory roles but with few of them rising to the level of the main characters. I'm looking forward to where we go from here.

      Was introduced to Sean Dillion in this series and found the read to be enjoyable and an easy read. Again, not one of those books that intrigue you as you try to figure out the plot/motive/etc., instead it is plainly laid out path, don't want to say predictable but if you've read enough of these type books iy can seem to be.
    • 2/5
      Stories of intrigue are usually intriguing, not so with Dark Justice!Commencing with a plot to assassinate the US President one has an immediate flashback to a previous novel with a remarkably similar plot development, only this time rather than the perpetrator being an IRA soldier hired by rich industrialist with Islamic fundamentalist views it is a Islamic fundamentalist backed by a rich industrialist. Naturally the attempt is thwarted by Ferguson/Dillon/Blake&Co at which point they commence hunting down the backer. Once again Dillon visits an old lady, kisses her on the forehead and the next day she's dead of an "accident", quite amazing that the old ladies he kisses on the forehead keep drowning accidentally in the Thames.Enter the IRA a bit of run around and then Dillon gets his man and the story ends. At which point we're apparently meant to have forgotten about the Islamic fundamentalist training camps which trained the aforementioned assassin which are never actually dealt with in any manner. Overall, it fills in time but really is a rather unimpressive work filled with Déjà vu plot developments.

      This is the first Hoggins that I have ever read and I don't think I've ever read a book quite as fast before. Very pacy action thriller that doesn't let up from start to finish. It lacks a bit in detail and characterisation from what I would prefer in a book, but the action comes thick and fast. Reminded me of a Andy McNab novel a little

      Great intrigue and plot twists. A botched presidential assassination attempt leads to the discovery of a group of people intent on sewing the seeds of terror in society. An American White House agent teams up with a British Intelligence Officer to try to untangle a conspiracy web that is so widespread and shocking that even they can hardly believe their own findings.

The man heading this group is furious at this capture, and sends his henchmen to London to kill not only the man captured who is talking, But Dillion, Roper, Slater, Ferguson, and Benstein as well.

      A failed assassination attempt on the life of the American president reveals a world wide network of agents intent on creating terror threats. US and UK intelligence agencies work together to track down and eradicate the terror network. Read by Sean Barrett who does of a good job of the different voice characterisations.
