5.0 out of 5 stars held my interest throughout

Rarely do page-turners send me to the imbedded Kindle dictionary so frequently. The author's stunning vocabulary was a treat.

Not only was this an adventure story, but an exploration of moral philosophy; not quite Thomas Aquinas but nonetheless thought provoking, especially in today's philosophically polarized political environment. Ludlum readers will enjoy the view into the murky world of Inver Brass, a recurring Ludlum creation.

Binding - after a slow start, successive events kept me riveted to the pages. Credible plot and reflections around justifications of actions or non-action.

3.0 out of 5 stars Could have been much better
Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2018

Frustrated by this book, which was NOT written by Robert Ludlum, and which could have been so much better. Parts of it were suspenseful. And then it would bog down with descriptions and explanations that slowed everything and were unnecessary - time and words that might have been spent developing plot and characters. Think perhaps the person who did write this may do better at writing technical manuals or operational reports, which might also serve as vehicles for all the obscure words they obviously like to use such as freshet, boffin, ululations, carrel, simulacrum, juddered, alembic, logy, orotund, deliquescent, etc.

I have read this book more than once. Ludlam is one of my favorite authors. It is another Ludlam thriller & is hard to put down. If you like Ludlam, you will like this book.

Arrival Time: On Time

Quality: Great. Only upset was that the cover was folded during packing so when I received it it was folded and couldn't really fix it.

Overall: My mom was happy to get a copy and finish it.
