Jack Higgins was a soldier and then a teacher before becoming a full-time writer. The Eagle Has Landed turned him into an international bestselling author and his novels have since sold over 250 million copies and been translated into fifty-five languages. Many of them have also been made into successful films.

In this sequel to Edge of Danger, Kate Rashid, the only surviving member of the powerful Rashid family, seeks revenge on Sean Dillon and the U.S. president, whom she holds responsible for the death of her three brothers. Rashid and her henchmen scheme to ruin the world's oil supply by blowing up a Rashid-owned pipeline, thus precipitating a disaster that will ruin the president's credibility. For Dillon, she plans violent death. Patrick Macnee is not at his best with this talky adventure, and the listener is frequently confused about which male character is speaking. He uses little variance in pitch, and his accents waver. The American men sound alike, and the drawl that characterizes them is an odd meeting of Alabama and Massachusetts. Wait for another recording; this one is not recommended.-Juleigh Muirhead Clark, John D. Rockefeller Jr. Lib., Colonial Williamsburg Fdn., VA Copyright 2002 Cahners Business Information.
