content: I enjoyed this book. It was hard to put it down. The person that put this story together had or has a fantastic imagination. There were two surprises I did not see coming. The clues were there but I was blind sided. You have to admire the person that could think this story through and put it on paper.Robert Ludlum has to be a master of the English language. I don't think I have ever read a book that had so many words I have never seen before. Some examples: gestalt, menhaden, cudgel, ersatz, foppish. The list goes on and on. When I had a chance to read I did not have access to a dictionary. Yet I enjoyed the book.Paul Janson, the hero of this book, is one of those larger than life type of guys. He is more than any one man can be, kind of a James Bond without the girls.
