    About this audiobook

    They gave Sean Dillon a choice: life in prison or a suicide mission.

    In the inky depths beneath Thunder Point a diver discovers a priceless treasure: a German U-boat sunk in American waters three weeks after the end of the Second World War. Inside is final proof that Martin Bormann escaped Hitler’s bunker, and that he took with him the most explosive secrets of the Reich.

    Among them: the names of British Nazi sympathisers – some of them pillars of the establishment – and the devastating document known as the Windsor Protocol.

    For the sake of national security, the U-boat must be destroyed. And no questions asked. Even if it means persuading Britain’s most wanted IRA terrorist to take on the job. Sean Dillon, assassin, gun for hire, is about to be made an offer he cannot refuse…

      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? :)

      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
