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

This is by far the best book I have read (listened to) in quite a while. The Narrator Paul Michael does a fantastic job with all the characters. A great thriller that keeps you engaged throughout. And the ending was well done unlike some books that leave you wanting. I think if you like thrillers, you will not regret reading this book.
