This is a little yarn. But don't let the adjective fool you. In these days of sweeping techno-thrillers that rely heavily on (and are often weighed down by) techno ga-ga, Higgins' "little" yarns are a breath of fresh air. Everything about this book, except the pre-title sequence in Serbia could be written in the 1960s. Lets see there's a sunken German U-boat, a plush locale, sharks (aquatic and bipedal), seaplanes, exploding yachts, dastardly villains, able henchmen (if only just), and a love interest that is little more than a devise for the story. Yep, that's 1960s fair...gotta love it!Much of the story is a bit predictable, not many plot twists - but who cares. You bounce along with the protagonist, Higgins' loveable Sean Dillon, former IRA terrorist, and his new employer, Brigadier Ferguson (who gets an unusually large part in this story considering he's usually the spymaster that sits back and manipulates the game) as they race against time to unearth documents from the Third Reich that may implicate many in Britain's and America's upper crust in Nazi efforts to thwart the allies plans during World War II. I say again, pure 1960s fair.I especially enjoyed the dialogue among Dillon and Ferguson, they definately seem like old warriors. Plus Higgins has a way of making even readers from Peoria read with a Scottish brogue or a Belfast cockney. Unfortunately, his characters from other cultures seem to adopt the same idioms. The hispanic villians can be heard calling Dillon a "bloody bastard", probably not the epithet of choice in Cuba. And another thing...yet another hold over from the 60's, why is the protagonist always referred to in dialogue by his last name. "I say, Dillon, have a look at this," "I'm with you, Dillon," "Oh, Dillon, do take care dear, I don't know what I'd do without you." Even in the most intimate scenes, he's always referred to as Dillon. If I were in bed with a feme fatale I would know to look out if she referred to me as Rakr, and not Muun.
