This, the fourth title in the Sean Dillon series, gave me a chance to visit with some old and likable friends once again, but I'm realizing more and more that these old friends are terribly incompetent (mostly Ferguson, the head guy) and would have been removed from their official roles long ago in the real world. The plot is unoriginal; the motives of the bad guys muddled, at best; there are numerous plot developments that require you to merely accept that some people must just be stupid; and the ending is rushed, as if Higgins had run up against a deadline or realized that he was nearing 300 pages and had to wrap things up. On the positive side, the pacing is good and the narrative moves along at a fast clip. I will continue with the next in the series, but I'm not overly excited at the prospect. If I were not interested in the ultimate fates of Ferguson, Bernstein and Dillon, I might be giving up on this series at this point. ( ) This is the perfect book to take with you when you've got a lot of time on your hands; waiting room, plane flight, bus trip, whatever. You can stop and start without missing a thing, because you've probably read it all before. And you'll get through it so fast you won't feel guilty about the time you've spent reading it.
In this by-the-numbers thriller, bad guy turned hero Sean Dillon becomes entangled with a mysterious and indiscriminate terrorist group known as "January 30.'' It helps that the villains of the piece are somewhat interesting ... creating January 30 to use as a cover-up for murders they carry out in their effort to create chaos in the West. Let it be known that all of Higgins's trademark weaknesses are evident throughout- -plodding prose, awkward and repetitive exposition, superficial characterization. But so what. The formula is tried and true, and it works. Onderdeel van de reeks(en)Sean Dillon (book 4)
