Synopsis
In this Collector’s Choice are published four of Jack Higgins’ best known stories. All of them are exhaustively researched and bear the hallmark of Jack Higgins’ superb art as a storyteller. In the introduction, specially written for this volume, Jack Higgins explains how the books came to be written and their importance for him as a writer. THE LAST PLACE GOD MADE - Sam Hannah, ace flyer on the Western Front, was down to pushing ancient planes over the worst jungles in the world. Mallory was a flyer too, one who would rather fly anything than not fly at all, Mallory needed a job and Hannah needed a partner... Two men in battered planes, up against the Savage Huna Indians on Brazil's Rio das Mortes - the River of Death. THE SAVAGE DAY: Simon Vaughan, ex-British army major and adventurer, was rotting in a Greek prison when the British caught up with him. They needed him for a job no one could do better So Vaughan found himself thrust into a world of gun-running, violence and duplicity. Set in Ireland, this is a tough, bitter story, superbly written. A PRAYER FOR THE DYING - Fallon was good with a gun and had never worried about having to use one. The man now wanting him to make a hit was Dandy Jack Meehan, a ruthless underworld boss. That took Fallon to the north of England. It also took him into a conflict of interests that put him on the same side as a Catholic priest and in opposition to Meehan himself And that meant Fallon might live less time than he had recently anticipated. THE EAGLE HAS LANDED: At precisely 1 am, on Saturday, 6th November 1943. Heinrich Himmler, Reichsfuhrer of the SS and Chief of State Police, received a simple message. The Eagle has landed. It meant that a small force of German paratroops were safely in England and poised to snatch the British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, from the Norfolk country house near the sea where he was. spending a quiet weekend...
