Jack Higgins

      Jack Higgins is, in actuality, Harry Patterson.  Higgins is one of Mr. Patterson's many pseudonyms; certainly it is the best known. The first of Higgins' books that I read was 'Sheba', but my first exposure to him was the movie 'The Eagle Has Landed', when it was released in movie theatres in the 1970's.  Even then, in my teen years, I enjoyed the story-telling abilities of this marvellously versatile and very prolific author.
  Writing now, dare I say exclusively?, under the name Jack Higgins, Mr. Patterson wrote many books under his own name, Harry Patterson, as well as under the following pen-names:
  • Jack Higgins {of course!}
  • Martin Fallon
  • James Graham
  • Hugh Marlowe
  I have compiled Mr. Patterson's books by various classifications; so far they are:

~ Year ~ Character ~ Author pseudonym ~


   Below is my listing of Jack Higgins' books that I have and that I want. To date, all the books that I own have all been published, or reprinted, under the Jack Higgins pen-name; and that's okay with me... just as long as I've got 'em. I have also added the titles I am looking for, and again, I'll take them under whichever name I can find them.

Titles that I want are in blue.
Titles underlined & italicized are original titles / stories.
