The Savage Day (1976)

About book The Savage Day (1976)

This is a well written if improbable thriller set during the Troubles in Northern Ireland. In the early 1970s, disgraced former Army officer Simon Vaughn is sprung by British Intelligence from a Greek prison where he is serving time for gun-running. However in exchange he has to help them retrieve a shipment of gold stolen by a particularly vicious group of dissident Republicans. Needless to say, nothing goes quite according to plan. The action never lets up and there are a decent number of twists and turns in the plot. The dialogue is decent, the characterization is brief but effective and there is a refreshing tone of irreverent humor running through the whole story. Fans of the author won't be disappointed and overall this is a good escapist fun.
