A mediocre adventure/spy/thriller book, convoluted plot items seemingly tossed in at random, but a page turner if that's what you want. Sorry I wasted my time on it. ( )

Well written but ultimately a very cookie-cutter thriller. Clearly the research and energy of the author has been channelled into his latest work, I just wish that it was les predicatble and stook out among its peers. ( )

My first Folsom book. Overall, it was an excellent read. Full of adventure, mystery, and intrigue. Fast pace. Quite the page turner. I felt like I was watching the TV series, "24". Lots of action and unknowns with an international flair to it. But, I didn't care much for the X-rated sex scene between Marten and Anne. The details were not really necessary. And, there seemed to be a lot of unneeded rehashing of events throughout the book, resulting in a prolonged and stretched out storyline. And, there were a few moments when the story began to bore me. Rarely do I read a 600+ page book, but this was just good enough to hold my attention span and keep on reading to the finish. I've found a new author to add to my Favorites list and look forward to reading Folsom's other books. If you have the patience to read a lengthy book, but full of suspense and intrigue, then I highly recommend The Hadrian Memorandum. ( )

This was a very average retelling of an oft told tale. The action moved along fairly well but the story just never seemed to jell. I normally read a book in 1-3 sittings but I kept putting this one aside because I couldnt get interested. The characters were flat and the story dull. Blah... ( )

Compared to the other works by the author - this is a poor effort - very slow, disjointed, very formulaic, dull ( )
