    About this audiobook

    1945. The day before Hitler commits suicide, he arranges for Nazi leader Martin Bormann to flee to South America in a German U-boat.

    1992. Terrorist Sean Dillon is saved from a Yugoslavian firing squad—if he agrees to help the British government retrieve the long-lost documents of Martin Bormann. The wreck of Bormann's U-boat has been discovered in the Caribbean, along with a secret list of Nazi sympathizers. The names include high-level citizens from the U.S. and Great Britain—and may implicate the Duke of Windsor himself. The evidence lies in a watertight briefcase on the bottom of the sea. And the desperate search to find it will send shockwaves across the world ...

    • 5/5
      Lots of action. Unfortunately there was skipping so didn’t get complete story
    • 3/5
      This, the second in the Sean Dillon series, contains plenty of likable characters and a fun plot, and the settings--both above and beneath the water--are a treat. The only downside is that there are once again just too many eye-rolling (as in massively dumb) decisions being made by the characters, and almost all of the plot developments served by those dumb decisions could have been achieved without making the characters appear to be so dense. Still, a fun read, and I admit that I'm hooked. Dillon #3 will surely appear in my hands sooner, rather than later. My biggest question for Sean's next outing (and a bit of a spoiler, so stop now if you don't want to see it): will Higgins have yet another woman fall off of a balcony? :)
    • 4/5
      Dillon and company have just begun to get acquainted. Here he uses his skills as a pilot and a diver under severe circumstances. Not an abnormal number of bodies.
    • 4/5
      I have read 3 books by Higgins and to be kind, some of them were stinkers. This, on the other hand has an intriguing and believable plot that keeps you interested from start to finish. Unlike some of the Higgins book that require you to keep track of far too many characters, this one is straight forward and once you start the book, the premise is so compelling, you must see it through
