Not exactly Robert Ludlum, but a pretty good spy story.The characters were the strong part. The plot was weak -- too much coincidence. The general premise of mind control as a spy/terrorist weapon was clever. Probably wouldn't read it again though. ( )

I've never reado me the this author before but am a huge fan now. I loved his writting and the style he writes. The story flowed and stayed fluid throughout. Not only was it exstremely well written, the characters were very solid. The book followed through and stayed continuous. The factors leading to the conclussion, the little side bits that feed the story but don't really need to continue, were actually brought to their conclusions for the most part if not all. i can't think of any that weren't. i was quite impressed with this book. it is a wonderful spy novel, classic kgb vs cia underdog. it also spins off with alot of neurophysiology that is quite interesting. being that this book was written in 1990, probably very possible it's happened. the theories were very interesting and plausable i would think, especially now if not then. very good read. would recommend it, specially if you like the spy stuff.
