Very Bourne-ish in plot. ( )Good, Ludlum does it again. Hal Ambler, an agent comes out of an institution & tries to find his past which the Agency has totally erased. Intriguing. Written before the popularization of microexpressions, Ludlum delivers a suspenseful thriller that I found to be one of his best. There are several layers to every character and each new layer to the plot adds an interesting twist. I think of fresh-squeezed lemonade. (Or I might just be thirsty right now.) This is like most Ludlums, a little predictable, but still engaging. I didn't expect the crisis, but I'm sure others did. Unfortunately, for most of the book, I couldn't help thinking the whole thing was a lot like Bourne. Supreme op, no memory, unknown enemies chasing .... The auditor was a good and funny addition. It's ages since I read a Ludlam. This one was fast-paced and with a complex-enough plot to keep me guessing. It didn't quite live up to my fond memories of earlier readings, but it was still definitely entertaining and worth the read. no reviews | add a review
