While Mr. Higgins work seems to be more that of a chairman of the board to a committee of writers - formulaic, to a larger degree than in the past - witness the copyright as "Higgins Associates," this is still a good read. Sean Dillon seems to be gradually taking a back seat to other characters as the series goes on, even though his age - based on the first appearance - is only about five years older than my own.
I was missing this book from my collection, and thus had missed on Ferguson's promotion from Brigadier to Major General, but was disappointed in learning that it was accomplished in a simple conversational aside with the president by Mr. Dillon, sans explanation.
The storyline was excellent, however, so I'll forgive the lapse in character development. Higgins is still a master storyteller.
