About This Item
New York: Putnam's Sons, 1992. First Printing . Hard Back. Very Good/Good. 6 1/2" X 9 1/2. 320 pages. Light moisture stains to endpapers and inside of dust jacket. Otherwise a tight sqaure book with a faultless interior. A classic Jack Higgins thriller. Sean Dillon is a master terrorist, an elusive, mysterious figure whose skills surpass even those of famed international fugitive Carlos the Jackal. For years Dillon has slipped through the hands of authorities on every continent, hiding in the anonymity of the underworld. But it is during the Gulf War, when Saddam Hussein is feeling the grip of the British and American forces closing in on him, that Dillon once again emerges right into the eye of Saddam's storm. Hired by Iraqi operatives to strike a blow against the allied forces, Dillon plots an attempt on Margaret Thatcher's life. His ultimate goal, though, is a mortar launch against the War Cabinet during a meeting at 10 Downing Street. As Dillon's plan progresses, his longtime nemesis Martin Brosnan, an American Special Forces hero who has known Dillon from his IRA days, is recruited by British intelligence to nail him. Just as Dillon is within Brosnan's grasp, he slips away again. Step by step, a deadly cat and mouse game unfolds, although the odds are stacking up against Dillon's capture. As the clock begins to tick, Eye of the Storm accelerates with heart-stopping suspense, hurtling the reader toward the novel's spectacular, unexpected conclusion.

This was a very good book. Fast moving, great chacters and lots of turns but always on point. I found myself cheering for the bad guy! I thought the end of the book could never end the way I wanted but.... It's a great read!! I've just ordered three other of Jack Higgins books and I can hardly wait to get them.
