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. ( ) This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers. 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 review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers. 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... no reviews | add a review
