Summary: this was a GOOD book
Review: this was only the 2nd ludlum book i have read & i was very impressed. The plot, although slightly unrealistic, keeps the reader on the edge of their seat. the only thing that got to me by the end was ALL the killing--that isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it just seemed that for the last few hundred pages, someone was killed every few pages. and i would recommend keeping a pen and paper near by to keep track of who is in charge and where they are. i thought that "Tye" was a believable character and that jackson was a laugh a minute. amaya was very resourceful, considering the circumstances. at any rate--this will not be the last ludlum book i buy.

Summary: A great read from the master of espionage
Review: This was the first Ludlum novel I had ever read and I was not disappointed. Sure, it was complicated and the characters could be thin, but damn, it was GOOD!! The only problem with this book was the fact that I had a busy week at school, so I had to drag it over two weeks. Nevertheless, BUY THIS BOOK!!!!!

Summary: An Exciting Book!
Review: Through this book Ludlum does a good story about the world of terrorism.The lady terrorist who plays the villain in this book swears vengance after her lover is killed. She begins a journey to the United States to gain this vengance. A Naval intelligence officer is attempting to find her. The lady terrorist makes a stop on a Carribean island to visit her father figure(a death merchant). Along the way she picks up a fake count. By passing off this fake count as being wealthy she works the social set and finally gains an audience with the President. The Naval Intelligence officer finally catches up with the terrorist. A very interesting read. Read it you will not be dissapointed.

Summary: Horrid Writing
Review: You may like to curl up with a great action-packed spy novel. If so this is not the book. The characterization is weak. The plot is non-existent. The dialog downright silly. Ludlum has written some great spy novels....
