Rough Justice

Mystery, suspense,murder and intrigue. Nonstop action and plotting with never a drag. The secret organizations of the Brits, The Russians,The followers of Ossama. Wonderfully narrated. It will keep you thinking.

If there was a zero i would give it to this book. I could not get into it at all. The reader was terible. I jumped ahead to see if it got better and it didn't. What a waste of a credit.

Jack Higgins is certainly an entertaining writer (his best is probably the WWII thriller, "The Eagle has Landed") and this story, which is set in a kind of fictional alternate universe in a post-9/11 world, certainly holds one's interest. The narration by Michael Page is also expertly done -- he manages to give almost every character (especially male characters) different-sounding voices that are remarkably diverse.

The problem with the book is that it's actually intended as a continuation of a series of novels (apparently, this is no. 15) involving the character Sean Dillon. Dillon actually has a secondary role in this novel, but there are a number of places where Higgins refers to events that have already happened in other novels, and one gets the feeling of having walked in during the middle of the play. So, it's an entertaining and well-read audiobook -- but I wouldn't have chosen it if I had known it was part of a series.

I really like this book. Holds your interest and is well read.

Not much to say... you will forget it shortly after you read it. 2 thumbs down

The reader -- Michael Page -- makes this novel just listenable. He has many different voices and many different accents to distinguish the characters from one another. Sometimes a good actor reading an audiobook can justify listening to a mediocre book. Otherwise, I would not recommend this audiobook. It struck me especially strange that the Brilliance company (who recorded the book) apparently did not listen to it themselves before releasing it. At several points in the reading (maybe eight or ten -- I didn't count) passages are repeated. Editing should have caught these duplications and eliminated them, but didn't. Aside from this technical error, the book has a tedious story exacerbated by mediocre writing. If you like action and adventure stories, give this book a pass, and look for other books read by Michael Page.

I tried..I really did. The narration was dull, several times the same paragraph was re-read.
There were so many characters I couldn't keep them all straight and the dialog went on and on. Thank goodness I got this at the $5.95 special price!
