Book Description:
On Parrish Island, off the coast of Virginia, lies a psychiatric facility. Far from prying eyes, it is a government-run hospital for former intelligence employees in possession of highly classified information. Former Consular Operations agent Hal Ambler is one of these patients whose mind is filled with secrets of state—and is considered such a security risk that he is kept heavily medicated and closely watched. But there’s one critical difference between Ambler and the other patients—Ambler isn’t crazy. Now he must find a way to escape the facility, find out who put him there, and uncover the truth of who he was…and why someone is willing to risk everything to see him dead.

For me, there are two types of books: The ones I keep on my night table to read a few chapters each night, and the ones that I carry all over the house to read whenever I have a few minutes to spare. This book surely falls into the latter category. It grips in the first few pages and never lets go. The high level of suspense is maintained throughout the story. The characters are riveting, and one of the supporting characters, Clayton, is hilarious. His character evolves throughout the story, and some of his dialogue at the end of the book had me laughing out loud a few times. Highly recommend. Feel free to email with any questions. ~LeAnn

Rating: 3/5

Another decent quick read. Thriller contains medical experiments, para-military organizations, conspiracies, double-crosses, action, etc. The story moves right along, with some of the major points being fairly predictable, and certain "twists" not making much sense. Still more fun than good.

Hal Amber, a former CIA operative, has been kept at a secure isolated location for the insane. Deeply medicated, he has been "eraced", with the help of a nurse he escape to find his past.

I'm not a Ludlum fan, but my friend loved it.
