When I was around twenty in the early 90's I read a few of Jack Higgins books. I thought the Laim Devlin character was great, and his works just were easy fun reads, Two weeks ago, I found a used copy of The Eagle has Flown and after rereading it, I ended up watching the Eagle has Landed movie and bought a used copy of it off of Ebay. Now I started Night of the Fox, and I think I will also revisit Touch the Devil. It is so cool to me that the things I liked about his books are still there for me thirty-five years later. Anyone have any favs of his? |

| I have read a ton of his books. Enjoyed a lot of them but feel they got a bit formulaic at some point. I don't regret reading any of them though. Don't watch any Sean Dillon movies. You'll thank me. |

Nice. After reading his stuff when I was younger, I wanted to learn how to fly a plane real low over the English Channel. |
