I'm a die hard Ludlum fan. Loved, "The Ambler Warning" and the "Lazarus Vendetta". But, I couldn't finish this one. A bit too slow.

First in a series, althought not necessary to read them in order of publication. International espionage/counterterrorism with a technological slant.

First book in the "Covert One" series. Reads like a Robin cook novel.

Ludlum is a great writer. I enjoy the intrigue and suspense of his books.
