A wickedly funny Robert Ludlum you've never met before. All the explosive paving of "The Bourne Identity," the Byzantine treachery of "The Parsifal Mosaic," the relentless action of "The Bourne Ultimatum."

General Hawken's four ex-wives, a quartet of incredibly endowed women who've formed a club: Hawkin's Harem. The Premise: Kidnap Pope Francesco I, the most beloved pontiff since John XX III.

This is a book I read just ot have fun. A classic, my favorite Ludlum novel.

Not one of his better books, but also one of his earlier ones. ( )

A delightful rolicking tale, with twists and turns in the plot which will amuse, challenge, and intrigue. A cast of characters which include the Pope, an American General and several of his ex-wives provide a stretch of imagination for backdrop. ( )

Robert Ludlum had a great sense of humor. ( )

Humorous and a Great Read

My good friend was clearing out some of his old books and gave me this book to read. I enjoyed the book and I found it to be a very entertaining read. I always appreciate a bit of humor in stories and this book had a number of humorous moments. I laughed at some of the scenes and kept reading and laughed at the characters.
I understand that there is a sequel to the book so I'll probably ask my friend if he has it. Assuming he can remember the title. ( )

Behind each corporation must be the singular force, or motive, that sets it apart from any other corporate structure and gives it its particular identity. ~ Shepherd's Laws of Economics: Book XXXII, Chapter 12
Dedication
For John Patrick. A distinguished writer and an honored man whose idea this was.
First words
The crowds gathered in St. Peter's Square. Thousands upon thousands of the faithful waited in hushed anticipation for the pontiff to emerge on the balcony and raise his hands in benediction.
