The classic Gerald Seymour thriller.,
By
This review is from: Harry's Game (Paperback)
written in 1975 at the height of violence in Ulster this was the superb first novel by ITN reporter Gerald Seymour.Hard hitting and uncompromising, which would be the hallmark of his new career,Seymour blends high politics with thrilling tension and action sequences. An IRA hitman shoots dead a Government Minister.The British Prime Minister orders the intellegence service to hunt the killer down and Harry Brown is the soldier chosen to go to Belfast and immerse himself into the catholic community undercover to flush the assassin out. Seymour handles the politics well, his characters speaking real believable diologue not sterio-typing as lesser skilled author's would do. Seymour has since become a master at telling it like it is, his novels pull no punches and often have downbeat endings. This was the book that launched his very successful second career. This novel hooks you and will not let go.

A tight and gripping story,
By A Customer
This review is from: Harry's Game (Paperback)
Harry's Game is the first, and best, novel of the war in Ulster. All the characters who matter (all four) are beautifully and clearly drawn, the plot is faultless and the ending is shattering.
