A little dated (set in the 80's) but still a very good spy novel. Plot twists enough to keep the interest strong right up til the end of the book.

Helpful Score: 2
Two orphans boys, made into brothers, then made into top assassins. Their handler/father turns and hunts them. Very good cat and mouse action. No fancy computer action like the recent Bourne movies or Alias TV show. Just a lot of vintage spy-work and intrigue where you really needed to know where things where and who to trust. The entire book was fast moving. Easy to ready and exciting.
