About the author
Michael Dobbs
101 books372 followersMichael Dobbs was born on the same day, in the same hour as Prince Charles in 1948.
He is the son of nurseryman Eric and his wife Eileen Dobbs and was educated at Hertford Grammar School and Christ Church, Oxford University. After graduating in 1971 he moved to the United States.
In the USA he attended the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University in Medford, Massachusetts, which he funded by a job as feature writer for the Boston Globe, where he worked as an editorial assistant and political feature writer from 1971 to 1975.
He graduated in 1975 with an M.A., M.A.L.D., and PhD in nuclear defence studies. His doctoral thesis was published as SALT on the Dragon's Tail. In 2007 he returned to Tufts where he gave the Alumni Salutation.
After gaining his PhD he returned to England and began working in London for the Conservative Party. He was an advisor to the then leader of the Opposition, Margaret Thatcher, from 1977 to 1979 and from 1979 to 1981 he was a Conservative MP speechwriter.
He served as a Government Special Advisor from 1981 to 1986 and he survived the Brighton Bombing in 1984 at the Conservative Party Conference. He was the Conservative Party Chief of Staff from 1986 to 1987.
He was considered a masterful political operator and was called "Westminster’s baby-faced hit man", by The Guardian in 1987. In the John Major government, he served as Deputy Chairman of the Conservative Party from 1994 to 1995, after which he retired from politics.
Outside of politics, he worked at Saatchi & Saatchi as Deputy Advertising Chairman from 1983 to 1986 and was Director of Worldwide Corporate Communications at the company from 1987 to 1988. He became Deputy Chairman, working directly under Maurice Saatchi from 1988 to 1991.
From 1991 to 1998 he was a columnist for The Mail on Sunday and also wrote column for the Daily Express. From 1998 to 2001 he hosted the current affairs program Despatch Box on BBC television and has also been a radio presenter.
Nowadays he is best known as the bestselling author of 17 novels (up to 2010), such as 'The Turning Point', about Winston Churchill and Guy Burgess, and 'A Family Affair', about the last days of Margaret Thatcher in Downing Street, and also a number of non-fiction works.
His writing career began in 1989 with the publication of 'House of Cards', the first in what would become a trilogy of political thrillers with Francis Urquhart as the central character. 'House of Cards' was followed by 'To Play the King' in 1992 and 'The Final Cut' in 1994.
Each of the three novels was adapted by the BBC into a miniseries and, with Ian Richardson playiing a starring role, the trilogy received a combined 14 BAFTA nominations and two BAFTA wins and was voted the 84th Best British Show in History.
His 2004 novel 'Winston’s War' was shortlisted for the Channel 4 Political Book of the Year Award. He was the winner of the Benjamin Franklin Award for best historical novel in 2008 and in 2001 was shortlisted for the C4 Political Novel of the Year. He has also been a judge of the Whitbread Book of the Year Award and lectures at dozens of literary and fundraising events each year.
Anthony Howard of The Times said “Dobbs is following in a respectable tradition. Shakespeare, Walter Scott, even Tolstoy, all used historical events as the framework for their writings. And, unlike some of their distinguished works, Dobbs's novel is, in fact, astonishingly historically accurate."
He is now a full time writer and divides his time between London and Wiltshire, where he says that he lives near a church and a pub! He is married with four children.

He is sometimes confused with American author Michael Dobbs, who is a distant relative of his and also an author of historical books (e.g. "Saboteurs - The Nazi Raid on America").

A young woman is tossed from a helicopter in Switzerland and her boyfriend is taken captive. The kidnappers reach out to the family from an undisclosed location, putting out a demand followed by a hefty ransom. While devastating, it has little to nothing to do with Harry Jones, or does it? The young captive, Ruari Breslin, has a mother with a scandalous history as it relates to Jones. He and Terri had a sordid affair that ended poorly and almost cost Harry his marriage. In true Harry Jones style, he agrees to help the authorities with the investigation and swoops into action, agreeing to locate Ruari and bring him home. While Jones and the boy's grandfather take up the search, much is made of a certain political diary, whose contents could bring down many powerful leaders should it reach the press. Could its destruction be the key to Ruari release? How will Harry react to the roadblocks created to keep Rurari from being rescued and will his past indiscretions come back to haunt him? And how are the kidnappers aways one step ahead of the authorities in the search for Ruari? All is revealed in this Dobbs novel, pitting Jones into the more precarious situations with little chance of success.
Dobbs has steered away from the political Jones and thrust him into the action-figure on whom everyone relies. While there is a strong parliamentary aspect to the story, and a job offer that could drastically change his life, Jones remains on the fence and dodges having to face it. Continuing with the Bond-esque persona, Harry Jones becomes the ultimate ladies' man, leaving broken hearts all over the world. Will this continue to fuel the stories presented, or has Dobbs another angle he wishes to pursue? I do pine for more political-savvy Jones, if he might come back, for I became hooked on that character, but Dobbs may have other plans for his swashbuckling hero.
Kudos, Baron Dobbs for your work. I am excited to see all you have in store with the next novel and hope it moves Jones in new directions.

When Michael Dobbs is on ground he knows intimately - politics and the corridors of Westminster - there are few better. When he seeks to put Harry Jones up against, say, Jack Reacher, he is out of his class.
Old Enemies is a mess. The villains are stereotypes, the love interest is tiresomely repetitive. Even the politics are sub-standard: how long does the Prime Minister wait while Jones is travelling Europe and getting beaten up before deciding whether he wants to be Foreign Secretary?
And there are just too many coincidences. We never discover how the two men in the opening pages know who is the girl who just happens to be at the next table. But even that was easier to swallow than the cruccial appearance of Simona.
The Lords' Day was magnificent. Old Enemies is abysmal.

Starts off a little too dramatically: Two goodies bumped off (literally) in the first couple of chapters. Confession: I had thought there were two Michael Dobbs the elegant and very British House of Cards etc. and then the B grade thriller writer the American Dobbs. No. Michael Dobbs is Anglo-American. Same guy. The two bodies were accompanying Ruari who is the kidnap victim: ransom the second diaries of Nelson Mandela who spills the truth about Chombo acting President of Zimbabwe. Chombo orders the kidnap by S African and Romanian psychopaths. Ruari’s parents are JJ and Terri, she being a former lover of Harry Jones, politician, adventurer. JJ doesnlt ant Harry to intervene but he must, there us no hope with official sources. After nasty negotiations using Skype (which we learn is virtually unhackable ) Harry and his Irish enemy Sean, grandfather to Roari go to Trieste doorway to Slovenia where they think the kidnappers are. Meantime, the Romanians have killed the S African bosses and up the stakes considerably, leaving 3 days to get the money. Each step in the game for Harry and Sean is unwinnable -- Dobbs’s trick for suspense -- and of course it works. Nice plotting, descriptions especially of Trieste. The story grows on you with surprises along the way.

It was difficult to decide whether I liked this book or not. It read well, good pace and a nice turn of phrase. To start with, I didn't warm to Harry, I thought he was a paper-cut-out, James Bond, but it was the introduction of Sean that really put me off. There was so much bad cliche Irish about him, I nearly stopped reading in protest. Then there was the story twists that a blind man could see coming. It was fairly disappointing.
However...
When the South Africans were dispatched, and the warlord despot forgotten, the story started to work. The city worked, the new kidnappers worked and even Harry and Sean began to work (somewhat). The ending was interesting if a little rushed.
So, a confused review from me. Some parts getting two stars, some four. I guess the only thing to do is read It yourself and make up your own mind.

As a novel of its' genre it does have some of the aspects that would make it successful. It has the hero, Harry, a 100% sure-fire war hero, it has a fast pace with something new in every chapter, it has some dastardly foreigners for the reader to dislike.
But those attributes are not enough to rate it above average as there are also some serious flaws. The 'big reveal' had been blindingly obvious long before the very damp shock. Some of the characters are very stereotypical such as the ex-IRA man singing Danny Boy.
Of more concern to me was the implausibility of some plot-lines, the hero is an MP who can, seemingly, get drunk and argue with local ruffians, get badly beaten with baseball bats in the street and disappear to catch kidnappers without the slightest interest from the paparazzi.
Average. Very Average.

An easy read but I find it difficult to rate this book.
It's written in the usual Michael Dobbs style, and I enjoyed it. However, the characters are a bit too stereotypical and Harry Jones didn't feel convincing as an action hero. Maybe I just prefer the political intrigue that Harry Jones is usually involved in. I found this book easy to pick up and put down, it didn't grip me and make me want to keep turning the page like some of Michael Dobb's other books.
The plot feels light and in places a little predictable, and although I enjoyed the easy reading style maybe I wouldn't classify it as a must-read. A good beach read when you're looking for something to entertain but not take too much investment.

This is an extremely run-of-the-mill thriller. It starts ludicrously slowly but speeds up (and becomes more interesting) near the end. The dialogue is clunky and the plot is inconsistent (Harry Jones, the hero, is severely beaten up about half way through the book but the incident is barely mentioned again and has no impact on the character's physical abilities just a short while later). The best I can say is that the book occupied my attention when I was stuck on various buses during terrible pre-Christmas traffic jams. If I saw another Harry Jones book I'd possibly be tempted to give it a go, but only if there was nothing better available.

An Enjoyable Romp Thru' Trieste and London!
While I thoroughly enjoyed this kidnap thriller, I can't put it on the same level as my favourite authors in this genre. Mostly as some nuances of detail, I crave were lacking here, it nevertheless was engaging, and entertaining. Worthwhile reading!

I found Old Enemies to be an easy, entertaining and satisfying holiday book to read. The main character is not Mitch Rap, James Bond or Jack Reacher, just a friend of the family. Compared to some of this author’s other books, for me, Old Enemies was much ‘lighter’, but still enjoyable.

another very good story by this author
All the books I have read by this author have been 5 star books.
Although he writes about different scenes and people he grips you from the first page and the pace does not slacken throughout the book. Thank you for some very good reads!

Not too shabby. Enjoyed it. Would read some more of this series.

Painting by numbers.
April 10, 2019
Rather over-the-top crime drama, a bit confusing when it jumps straight in to the drama but has chapters which go back to fill in the full picture.
April 21, 2024
Good ending, but the narrative twists were fairly transparent throughout.

It was a struggle but I finally got to the end of the audiobook. Had it been an ebook pages would have been flipped.

Very good political thriller

This book had a lot of action and thriller though out the story. How two couples were on a trip they were fly in a helicopter when the helicopter got hijacked by two men during the flight. Now Henry has to figure out who did this and eliminate them.

Book 4, in the Harry Jones series
This is a story of international conspiracy where more than one life is at stake, an exhilarating race against time where the past will come back and decide the future.
It starts in the Swiss Alps, a teenage girl is thrown from a helicopter and her boyfriend is severely beaten and abducted to Trieste, a city filled with undercurrents of past hatreds. This is no ordinary kidnapping; it is about power rather than money.
The main plot centers on the kidnapping of a 16 year old boy used as a bargaining chip to pressure his father into withholding the publication of a diary written by one of South Africa’s most influential people. As one of UK’s most powerful man in the newspaper industry, he has a strong say as to whether the career killing information is to be released to the public. The revealing details about the acting President could jeopardize his chances in the upcoming elections and many supporters are willing to go to great limits to make the diary disappear or at least suppress it until after he is back in full power.
The boy’s terrified mother contacts Harry Jones, her former lover who she walked out on many years ago. Harry soon finds himself drawn into a high stakes political game one that is much higher than he can ever imagine and along the way he discovers personal secrets that have been held from him for many years, secrets that were never intended to be revealed.
The storyline has all the ingredients to make it a sizzling thriller and the action slowly builds suspense as secrets of those involved are uncovered. The action is mostly played out in the picturesque city of Trieste Italy and showcases an evil African politician and the extremes he and his sadistic followers will go through to attain wealth and power.
It is always a plus to read a series in sequence but Mr. Dobbs provides enough background to plunge anyone in Harry’s adventures without being lost. This is a first-class novel that is very hard to put down and will probably simulate the readers’ interest in following other exciting exploits of the writer’s protagonist.

This book would be my definition of a "heavy read".
Not many people use this term, I believe, but for me, it means a book which requires your full attention when reading. It's the complete opposite of light reading. This is not the type of book you read at the beach or by the pool, when you want to unwind and relax.
Also, I think this is the first thriller book I've read.
Or maybe one of the first, I can't quite remember.
Perhaps it's because I'm not accustomed to this type of genre, or because my subconscious dystopian-loving book mind refuses to accept it, but I couldn't really get into this book. I guess it's just not my type (but really, the only books I love are of the dystopia genre).
I found myself skipping through a lot of these pages (most of the ones I skipped were during Harry Jones scenes, I noticed) instead of reading them thoroughly like I should have, so I missed some important parts and was confused later on but ah, I just wanted to get this book over with.
I didn't really like the plot.Politics aren't really my thing. And I found the ending kind of rushed and it just felt kind of incomplete.
Needless to say, I really didn't like it and I most definitely will not be reading any more of Dobbs' books (or any thriller books, for that matter). Or maybe I will, I don't know. We'll see. But for now, I'm gonna stick to good ol' dystopia.

A very strange reading experience. The first half of this book is full of misery, self-pity and in places a dirge to read. At about page 200 I debated on whether to give up, but having never quit a book yet, I pushed on. I’m glad I did. Once the hero Harry Jones travels to Trieste the novel changes abruptly from soporific drudge to pacy thriller. It was almost like reading a book written by two authors. I can only surmise that Michael Dobbs was writing for cathartic reasons in the beginning, perhaps a difficult patch in his life, which resolved itself half way through the novel process.
Would I recommend it? Probably not.

I've always admired Michael Dobbs as an author, and this book is one of his best. It continues the story of Harry Jones, ex special forces and now politician as he's embroiled in a kidnap of the son of one of his former lovers. The story moves at a quick pace, taking the reader from the wintry London streets to the even colder backdrop of Trieste. Throw in some rotten Romanians, some horrific beatings, a grudge going back to Bloody Sunday and you've got a recipe for a crime thriller that's worthy of a read. In short, I really enjoyed it.

August 6, 2011Another 'Harry Jones' book, and SO much better than the last one. Really enjoyed this one. Good storyline with plenty twists and intrigue. Go for it.

Harry Jones is dragged back into a world he had left behind.And a past he wanted to forget.
An enjoyable read and I look forward to the book.

The pages turn easily enough, but from a very early stage the whole plot is horribly predictable.
