The action-packed new Sean Dillon novel. Master thriller writer Jack Higgins plunges his hugely popular hero into his ninth adventure - racing against time to prevent an assassination that would shock the world. With his recent international bestsellers Pay the Devil and Day of Reckoning, Jack Higgins proved once again that his recipe of non-stop adventure and pulse-pounding action told at a breakneck pace is irresistible to millions of readers around the world. Now his spectacular new thriller, Edge of Danger, finds undercover enforcer Sean Dillon facing a mission that will test him as never before. Half British and half Arab, Paul Rashid is proud to be both heir to the ancient Dauncey Place in England and the leader of the Rashid Bedouin of Hazar in the Persian Gulf. He is a man for whom family honour is everything. So when he uncovers an international conspiracy that threatens to use any means necessary, including murder, to deprive his family of the oil wealth that is their birthright, he vows to gain vengeance - and to make sure the world takes notice. When rumours of Rashid's audacious plan reach London, the security forces waste no time in sending undercover enforcer Sean Dillon to stop him. Helped once again by White House security insider Blake Johnson, Dillon must overcome foes old and new as he is caught up in a deadly game of cat-and-mouse that takes him from Ireland to the USA, and from the heart of the English countryside to the deserts of Hazar... and the very edge of danger.

While Mr. Higgins work seems to be more that of a chairman of the board to a committee of writers - formulaic, to a larger degree than in the past - witness the copyright as "Higgins Associates," this is still a good read. Sean Dillon seems to be gradually taking a back seat to other characters as the series goes on, even though his age - based on the first appearance - is only about five years older than my own.
I was missing this book from my collection, and thus had missed on Ferguson's promotion from Brigadier to Major General, but was disappointed in learning that it was accomplished in a simple conversational aside with the president by Mr. Dillon, sans explanation.
The storyline was excellent, however, so I'll forgive the lapse in character development. Higgins is still a master storyteller.
