In fact, he was on holiday almost the entire time. Two new characters were introduced, both disenchanted Russian soldiers. It is not clear how big a part they will play in future works by this author. The story introduced a rather interesting plot line and it maintained the mystery for about three-quarters of the book and I liked it a lot. the background for the two new characters was painstakingly done with satisfying results. It seems that Higgins has traded bodies for story-line development. A Darker Place is vintage Jack Higgins: renowned Russian writer and war hero Alexander Kurbsky decides to ‘vanish’ into the west so Sean Dillon and the group known as ‘The Prime Minister’s Private Army’ are called in to assist and protect him. The Iron Curtain may be down but Russia dislikes high placed defectors and tends to discourage them, fatally. However, all is not as it seems… Kurbsky is actually a lethally efficient spy, strategically positioned to win Western trust at the highest levels. Fortunately Sean, as usual, is on hand to save the day yet again in a series of derring-do adventures. Boys Own fun. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya

Alexander Kurbsky, a famous Russian writer and ex-paratrooper, fakes his escape from Russia and infiltrates British and American intelligence at the highest levels.

Even though Dillon is largely irrelevant in the novel, there was a lot to like. Among them are the flow of the narration and ease of the writing style. It was a nice, clean read. Alexander Kurbsky is a compelling character. The plot was strong as the novel took on many twists and turns. Kurbsky is ostensibly the villain but he had enough valor and honor that there was always doubt when reading it that he would stay the villain, and ultimately the real villains were the Russians pulling the strings behind the scenes. I didn’t care much for the crazed Afghan that appears at the end of the novel and becomes a pivotal character even though he is introduced so late. By and large this novel worked for me and I would recommend it.
