I was curious if it was only me who had this boring feeling along this book, this perception of a childish and hardly believable plot, as well as a a rather clumsy and senseless narrative thread. It feels that the author was a beginner. Mature Ludlum can definitely be better.

Good entertainment.

I remember having read other books from this author and also remember I cared more for the main character in those books - which just tells the writer improved himself over the years.

If, like me, you've generally enjoyed Robert Ludlum thrillers, I recommend you avoid this one. It's one of his early works, written under a pseudonym, and it's dry and clunky. I don't even remember why I bothered to finish it.
