Good fast paced read. Lots of twists in the plot
Ludlums books are deep but will hook you once you start reading his characters.
1st rate thriller. Suspense & violence & action.
A really fast paced espionage thriller with plenty of plot twists & suspense about about a man forced by an uncaring bureaucracy to risk his life & the life of the woman he loves to stop a dangerous conspiracy ant any cost.
An early Robert Ludlum novel, 1973. Not one I've read, but it was on the bestseller list for over 4 1/2 months when it came out.
