Title: Vintage Ludlum
Review: It seems that Robert Ludlum's best work has been left for publication after his death. This is a classic Ludlum thriller, with all the usual elements: a hero caught in a game where the rules are unknown to him, a beautiful woman with whom he eventually bonds, an evil villain intent on taking over the work, and also the usual travelogue of many and varied scenic cities and places around the world. Ludlum's heros are always like James Bond: you know that they will eventually surmount the challenges around them and triumph, but you're with them every step of the way. So its hackneyed, but we true Ludlum fans love it! I can only hope that there are more of these works around somewhere, so that we won't have to go into "Ludlum Withdrawal"!
