Book Review: The Judas Gate by Jack Higgins

The Judas Gate is a spy type thriller by Jack Higgins.  The plot is interesting, the action is good, but reading it can be like being the spouse at the high school reunion, if you have not read any of Higgin's previous books.  There are something like six main characters working together and keeping track of who is who can get confusing at times.  Plus you don't have any of the back story to help you fully appreciate who they all are.

The great news is for those of you that are fans of Daniel Silva, Tom Clancy and W.E.B. Griffin here is another author that you are going to enjoy!  Jack Higgins has written 41 other books so he'll keep you busy reading for quite awhile!  After you read The Judas Gate check out The Eagle Has Landed and then keep going from there.

In The Judas Gate it comes to light through counter terrorism chanels that there are British citizens working with Al Qaeda.  Both the US and Britain want to find out who they are and how to stop them so they assign their covert teams to discover who the leader is.  It's a book that will keep you turning the pages and for those that enjoy this genre you will enjoy this book!
