Ludlum is a fun read, and listening is great also. Love his stories.

classic Ludlum- hard to put down- how many shootouts can there be?
Great Thriller
This is unabridged - 12 cassettes. It is expensive to ship.
Classic Ludlum. Released after his death, but his touch is obvious. Surprising plot twists with a hero who is not quite a superman.
For espionage/intrigue Ludlum is unsurpassed. This book is in keeping with his unique abilities
