Rating: - Robert Ludlum's? Really?
This is not Robert Ludum's book. Its easy to see that the writing comes up so short to his standard, it would never be compared to Mr. Ludlum's work on its own merits. Robert Ludlum was an author on a different level than most others. The books he wrote were simply amazing. These books with "Robert Ludlum's" written in very large letters on top and the real author's name in much smaller letters read like cheap action books without much plot or thought put into them. Had it been a stand-alone ... Read More

Rating: - The Best Book in the Series!
Gayle Lynds makes this story and plot work great. It is obviously the best book in this series. The TV two-part movie was good - but as always, it seems that the book was much better! Gayle has her signature all over this plot and story - it is obvious that she is responsible for the entire book.

I only wish that ABC Television had enough sense to make her award winning book "The Last Spymaster" a TV movie. In fact, all of her books would make wonderful movies and I look forward to someday ... Read More

Rating: - Not Free SF Reader
The first of a spin-off series of Ludlum's, done with another writer. The protagonist here is a doctor, but he is also secretly a spy for an ultra-clandestine spook type group in the USA.

The doctor's wife is involved in looking into a mysterious ebola sort of situation, and the doctor is tasked to help out, under a supposedly plausible cover, to see what is going on.

Rating: - how does something this bad get published?
Of course the answer is having Robert Ludlum's name associated with it. I am a long time Ludlum fan but this book is poorly written. Words are misused, the dialogue is clumsy and flat, there is an obvious attempt to substitute inappropriate multisyllabic words for decent writing. Don't waste your time with this.

Rating: - This Book is Ludlum's Best
I thought that this is one of Robert Ludlum's best books, it ties in the possible future as well as lots of very interesting action. Everything that is written in this book is written in such a way, that it sounds like it could actually happen. The plot takes off very fast and does not slow down, it is a very good page turner for anyone who likes: action, scientific fiction, and gun battles. One tip that I will give for reading is, make sure you keep track of names. Overall, I thought that this book ... Read More
