Some of Higgins greats characters come together to take out a threat from the past.

Sean Dillion and Sara Gideon, along with a host of big named characters from previous books, fight an old enemy with a new twist in RAIN ON THE DEAD from Jack Higgins.

Jack Higgins reintroduces a character from Sean's past. A connection to a younger Sean's murky and shady days. This character brings along with him a strong young female, that was exposed early on in her life to extreme violence. She could possibly be a new heroine built into a future book. If you are looking for a fast paced read, this will do. Globe trotting, intrigue, explosions and lots of dead people are included.

I enjoyed reading RAIN ON THE DEAD from Jack Higgins, but there were too many major characters in play throughout the book. At times Sean Dillion and Sara Gideon were lost in the noise form the supporting cast. You will need to pay attention or you'll have to backtrack. There are a couple of passages that leave you wondering what just happened.

There is a possibility that the threads that I grasped from within RAIN ON THE DEAD might lead to future stories, but then again I might just be seeing things that aren't there. I hope that you can find your own threads and see where they lead you.
