2.0 out of 5 stars Airport time-filler, 7 April 2000
By A Customer
Literary dross, but quite entertaining. The characters are cardboard, but the plot works and there is enough excitement to keep you going to the end. As I say, a time filler.

2.0 out of 5 stars C- for effort...., 21 Dec 2004
By Jon Mack (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The book looks promising, but from the word go, it's plain that Higgins has put very little time into it. The faux-attempted rape at the beginning bears a resounding similarity to the faux-attempted assault near the beginning of Higgins' novella 'The Keys of Hell' - out of print at the time 'Drink with the Devil' was published (since republished by HarperCollins).
Indeed, even the characters seem familiar to anyone who has read Higgins' 'The Eagle has Flown'. Liam Devlin ('The Eagle has Landed'/'The Eagle has Flown') even makes a curious appearance, as an elderly former IRA sharp shooter. And in Kate Ryan, we have another Kate who goes slowly mad (see: 'Midnight Runner'/'The Edge of Danger', etc.).

So what's the net effect? Well, expect plenty of Bushmills whiskey; clichéd Irish phrases; and a rather unconvincing plot, which is so silly you wouldn't even be able to guess the end (until the last fifty pages). Penguin should have been more vigorous in their editing - they couldn't even be bothered to correct the odd spelling mistake here and there. Shame.

4.0 out of 5 stars my review is describing the book, 19 Mar 1999
By A Customer
Drink with the Devil is another story about Sean Dillon. The book starts with Sean as an IRA member deceiving some PIRA members to gain their trust. These PIRA members are getting a gold bullion from this truck, if they get it then they will have enough money to start a major civil war but this is what the IRA don't want so they sent him in to stop them. All ends well with the bullion sinking in the middle of the sea and Sean getting away. Quite a time later the Sean is working for the British and they get ear of a plot to rescue the bullion so Sean goes in again to face the person who he had walked away from without getting hurt, now one of them will not be walking away again....

3.0 out of 5 stars Another Dillon time filler
If you've read Jack Higgins before (in particular anything involving Sean Dillon) this book will turn up no surprises... Read more
