Hawk and Fisher return for another extraordinary adventure. I think that the plotline was extremely well-constructed in this book -- I was guessing all the way up until the ending, which was very satisfying in itself. I also really loved the little moment that Hawk and Fisher had at the end of the story... we know they are married, but we hardly see them be affectionate to each other, and this book had a couple of really great examples of that caring. Really enjoyed this.

So, less than five years after it was released Die Hard was already making an impact on the world. This is very obviously influenced by that most brilliant of Christmas movies but it also has enough originality to it that you can think of it more of an homage than a rip off. In this final volume of Haven novels (yeah, yeah: I know there’s others but this is the last one which pretends that our heroes don’t have secret identities), things are ready to go out with a bang: terrorists have hijacked peace talks and are going to unleash something a bit Lovecraftian on the world. But they haven’t banked on Hawk, Fisher and a couple of plot twists…
