Editorial Review:
As Detective Superintendent Hannah Bernstein of Special Branch lies recuperating in the hospital, an enigmatic shadow from the past, burning with hatred, steals into her room and finishes the job. Consumed by grief and rage, Sean Dillon, Blake Johnson, and all who loved Hannah swear vengeance, no matter where it takes them.
"The first-ever war memoirs of the commander of the ""Band of Brothers"" They were called Easy Company-but their mission was never easy. Immortalized as the Band of Brothers, they suffered 150% casualties while liberating Europe-an unparalleled record of bravery under fire. Dick Winters was their commander-""the best combat leader in World War II"" to his men. This is his story-told in his own words for the first time. On D-Day, Dick Winters parachuted into France and assumed leadership of the Band of Brothers when their commander was killed. He led them through the Battle of the Bulge and into Germany, by which time each member had been wounded. They liberated an S.S. death camp from the horrors of the Holocaust and captured Berchtesgaden, Hitler's alpine retreat. After briefly serving during the Korean War, Winters was a highly successful businessman. Made famous by Stephen Ambrose's book Band of Brothers-and the subsequent award-winning HBO miniseries-he is the object of worldwide adulation. Beyond Band of Brothers is Winters's memoir-based on his wartime diary-but it also includes his comrades' untold stories. Virtually all this material is being released for the first time. Only Winters was present from the activation of Easy Company until the war's end. Winner of the Distinguished Service Cross, only he could pen this moving tribute to the human spirit."

Rating:  - Without Mercy - Jack Higgins
A fitting conclusion to the story told in Dark Justice - up to his usual standard and a great read.
Rating:  - Two Thumbs Up For Without Mercy
I recently read Jack Higgins's Without Mercy for a school assignment. I had never read anything by this author until now. I really enjoyed this fast paced, page turner very much. The Cold War thriller unites top Secret Service Agent Sean Dillion with the head of British Intelligence Blake Johnson. Together with the help of other Dark Justice Intelligence, they must stop terrorists from bombing major cities in the United States and Britain and prevent a war between the United States and Russia.

Rating:  - A fast read
Some of this book I liked ,but on the whole I felt it lacked truth in storytelling,the good guys are one step ahead, the bad guys seem like idiots and the plot is very thin, but I still read the book and I was entertained for a few hours.
Rating:  - Maybe He is Losing Touch, but Still Great Read
Jack Higgins is my favorite author, and his books got me reading instead of watching Beverly Hills 90210 when I was younger. However, I do agree with some of the earlier reviewers. In this book (Without Mercy), some of the activities and characters are unrealistic (too easy to gather/steal information, too friendly between the enemies, etc...). Additionally, looks like Mr Higgins is trying everything he can to tie this book to his previous books (Belov, Rashid). I think it is time to cut the cord ... Read More
