The Janson Directive was published after Robert Ludlum’s death. It’s very typical of a Ludlum novel filled with high-wire action scenes and loaded with twists and turns. In this novel, Paul Janson, a former assassin for the United States government who now runs a private security company is hired to...
*It's not sci-fi, but the introduced technology is still to be invented. Let it be a long way in the future.I am becoming a specialist at ruining my life. I could teach lessons on the subjects. Given the choice of reaа microbiology or a spy thriller about a doctor(microbiologist)/military/border gen...
This is a novel with such an absurd premise that almost nothing else about it matters. The writing is certainly competent enough by author Kyle Mills, but there isn’t a shred of believability in any aspect of the novel, starting off with the ridiculous premise. The concept here is that in Uganda, th...
Having just read this book, I feel as if I've just been let off a maddening, yet thrilling merry-go-round. Ludlum has written a thriller with the premise that J. Edgar Hoover, the infamous Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), did not die a natural death in 1972, but had been murder...

And given that I've been reading through a suspense novel recommendation list, with such doozies as Vince Flynn's Term Limits, Brad Thor's The Lions of Lucerne and Matthew Reilly's Ice Sta...
Und nun ist einer der seltenen Fälle eingetreten: Ich finde eine Buchverfilmung besser als das dazugehörige Buch. Dabei kann man bei den Bourne-Verfilmungen nicht von einer richtigen Buchverfilmung sprechen, da die Unterschiede zwischen Buch und Film zu groß sind. Gemeinsam haben beide, dass Jason B...
This is the first Robert Ludlum book I've read and I went into it with somewhat high expectations considering how well known he is. My expectations were not met. The story is okay but his writing style; particularly his dialog, really just didn't feel right to me. None of the dialog between any of t...
When this book came out one year at Christmas, it was passed around to my Dad, my sister, my brother in law, my husband, and me. One by one we disappeared to read it nonstop and what a delightfully spellbinding pleasure it presented us.
If someone held me down and told me to describe this book in only one word, that word would be "interminable!" Thankfully, no one is making me describe this book with only one word.
