Robert Ludlum's (TM) The Patriot Attack (Covert-One series)
Robert Ludlum's (TM) The Patriot Attack (Covert-One series)

Review:Solid entry into the covert-one series. Mills is definitely the best writer of those that have attempted it, and here he does an admirable job of weaving a convincing story of current politics with some believable futuristic tech. If you read the series you'll enjoy it, and it's definitely a step above the other Ludlum spinoff of Paul Janson, but still behind Lustbader's Bourne. If you haven't read the series before, start with The Arctic Event, which remains the best entry. Read more

Robert Ludlum's (TM) The Utopia Experiment (Covert-One series)

Review:Thought provoking novel of what could be in the not so far future and the possibility of hidden dangers associated with it. Great to see Jon Smith teamed with Randi Russell in the same organisation and how he tries to cope with her distinctly different personality. Great locations and many twists and turns to build the suspense. Read more

The Parsifal Mosaic: A Novel
The Parsifal Mosaic: A Novel

Review:This is another classic Robert Ludlum thriller with all his hallmarks - unexpected twists, flashes of imagination, action and suspense and well-researched characters, locations and politics! IN this one, Michael Havelock, a former CIA/VKR(Russian special intelligence) double agent witnesses his girlfriend Jenna Karras murdered on Spain's Costa Brava. Then some time later, on a field assignment in Rome, he spots her at a railway station and decides impulsively and obsessively to track her dow... Read more

Robert Ludlum's (TM) The Bourne Betrayal (Jason Bourne series)

Review:Another great Jason Bourne thriller. Obviously, Jason Bourne is getting older, so it is anticipated that the series will eventually end. However, the author continues Robert Ludlums legacy and the book does not disappoint. I loved it! Read more

Robert Ludlum's (TM) The Bourne Enigma (Jason Bourne series)
Robert Ludlum's (TM) The Bourne Enigma (Jason Bourne series)

Review:Bourne's entire history becomes unimportant and this does not make sense. By itself this was a good book just cannot reconcile it to Jason Bourne. Too many miracle escapes and tales of physical body control, mind over body type of actions. Still, all in all, a good read. Read more

Robert Ludlum's The Hades Factor - A Covert-One Novel

Review:THE SETUP

Robert Ludlum's (TM) The Janson Option (Janson series)

Review:Robert Ludlum's (TM) The Janson Option
By Paul Garrison
Publisher: Grand Central Publishing

Firstly this is a well written novel and a story that has lots of twists and turns. My first thought was that there were too many supporting characters to make the book work, however Garrison does a wonderful job and developing each to a point where they don’t get confused.
The cover, in big text advertises Jason Bourke and Robert Ludlum, both who have nothing to do with this book or serie... Read more

The Matarese Circle: A Novel
The Matarese Circle: A Novel

Review:After making an important point the author used humorous dialog to add to the main character's personality. This type of writing has been used extensively by Ludlum. I feel this makes the character more interesting. Keep it up! Read more

Robert Ludlum's (TM) The Geneva Strategy (Covert-One series)
Robert Ludlum's (TM) The Geneva Strategy (Covert-One series)

Review:Okay but not the suspense of earlier books in series. Getting predictable/formulatic using so many contract writers. Wish would only use one or two writers who can maintain consistent treatment of characters. Read more

Robert Ludlum's (TM) The Bourne Retribution (Jason Bourne series)
Robert Ludlum's (TM) The Bourne Retribution (Jason Bourne series)

Review:A very fast paced and energetically written novel. Not Eric's best but certainly entertaining and worth your time to read.
This should answer some questions about Jason Bourne and will certainly raise new ones. Read more
