Publisher's Summary:
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 attaché case with $2 million inside and stuffed aboard a hijacked DC-10 bound for Scotland, where he's chased through the countryside by the hijackers, Scots patriots, a crazy Cuban colonel, and half the police force. All of them want only two things - the money and Tony's head in a noose.
Once again Special Agent Tony Hawkin must rely on his own brand of expertise to outwit and confound a nefarious array of foes. Tony's plan is simple: lead them all back to London, like the Pied Piper of Hamelin, and deposit them at the gates of Scotland Yard. There is just one small problem: London is 500 miles away, and Tony has no idea which way that is....
Members Reviews:
old fashion action
I was a bit put off by the period and time when Harry
Harrison wrote this work.It is old and the story line shows this.No modern gimmicks here.I value the author
very highly from his "The Stars and Stripes in Peril"
series which I read again at least every couple of years.Any thing to see the "poms" get a kick in the but.And that from an Aussie.Back to Victoria's
Revenge.Its a strange title and has little to do with the story and the main character is an anti hero type.Worth a read but only after you have exhausted all other books you have on your Kindle.Its cheap enough and I doubt you will want to keep it after reading.Reasonable 1960's espionage

Pleasant enough silly action pulp
Very pulp follow-up to `Montezuma's Revenge' - something I haven't read but I assume must have sold a few copies to inspire this sequel. Switch off your brain and step on board for a rather silly full on action ride. The baddies are more comical than dark and sinister, and the hero moderately urbane but hardly James Bond (or slippery Jim Di Griz). Somehow our art connoisseur North American Indian (?) has fallen into a job as an FBI agent, despite having no particular martial skills or aptitude. Otherwise it is pretty affable Ian Fleming stuff, with occasional babes and baddies to carry us along. I enjoyed it for a while although by the end it all felt a bit pointless.
