Title: Lost steam, unbelievable
Product review: I just finished this book a few days ago. What a disappointment. I thought that since it had the great name Ludlum on it, it would be better. How wrong I was.I agree with the reviewer who said it lost steam after about 150 pages. It started out great, and I was really enjoying it as the tension built up. But then something happened midway through where it just became unbelievable. The main character, Metcalfe (who is supposed to be only 29 but acts way older at times) will be in a hot spot, unable to get out, and lo-and-behold, somebody would come along just in time to rescue him, or he'd happen upon just the right tool to help him out of the job. In the end, everything fell together just too easily, and it was too cliche the way the "bad guy" spent several pages explaining what he did, the whole time threatening to kill the hero. I just can't recommend this book.
