Fast paced and addictive

Having read The Sigma Protocol (and thought it was excellent) and then part read The Road to Gandolfo (awful), I thought I'd give Robert Ludlum one last go. I'm glad I did for this book is well written, fast paced and realistic. Excellent!!

High paced and very addictive!

This book is action packed from the beginning to the end. It refers to real events which have taken place, real agencies and also has references to a real website, which I have visited! On the whole, I would recommend anyone to read this short and enjoyable novel by Robert Ludlum and Gayle Lynds. Having read this novel, I can't wait to read others in the same series such as "The Bourne Legacy".

Rubbish

Badly written and difficult to read. A childish approach reminiscent of Enid Blyton's Famous Five - an insult to the memory of Robert Ludlum. Should be read as a new novelist - Gayle Lynds and not trade on the Ludlum name. I found it impossible to complete, something I can say of very few novels.

Not for the computer-savvy

The action and urgency of this book were as expected, and should Hollywood decide to film it a straightforward translation to screen would give them a typical action film. However, the key premise of the book is very poorly understood by the authors. They've taken the explanation of the potential impact of a DNA computer on cryptography and transmuted it into something approaching black magic which allows one to waltz through firewalls and break into computers which aren't running any daemons. If you know what a daemon is or how a firewall works, you may have to resist the temptation to rip your hair out.

not too bad!

Being a Robert Ludlum fan I was prepared to be disappointed with this "ghostwritten" novel. Maybe it was because I didn't expect too much, but, I did enjoy this book. Good bit of action and conspiracy as always.
