Queen Victoria's Revenge

by Harry Harrison

Book Overview

Tony Hawkin wasn't really made for the FBI. He rarely hit what he aimed at, forgot his own code name, and had a tendency to panic at the slightest hint of trouble. Now he's gotten himself handcuffed to an attache case with two million dollars inside, and stuffed aboard a hijacked DC-10, bound for Scotland, where he's being chased through the countryside by the hijackers, Scots patriots, a crazy Cuban colonel and half the police force.

Customer Reviews

Good Read

First let me tell you that this not a scifi book.It is however a very good and well written story.It grabs your interest from the start and keeps to the end.I no longer buy books because I find most reviews are misleading.It seems to me that these reviewers purchase books and find thy got took.So in anger thy write glowing reviews to sucker in others to waste there mony.I read reviews on books then if I can find them at the Library.I read the first 25 pages if by then it has not grabbed my attention I let it pass.I find that to many authors start out good then fill there pages with so much discriptive detail it detracts from the story.I also find that most books over 300 pages are loaded with just page filler that has nothing to do with the plot so beware when purchasing a book.I find anything written by Harry Harrison is good.

Read it if you can find it

This was a pleasant surprise, as I didn't realize Harrison wrote non-sci-fi fiction until I found this book in a nearby library. I enjoyed this every bit as much as his "Rat" books, and was similar in that it had a main char. who always seemed to be running into trouble. Good stuff, read it!
