Interesting read. Kept wondering how different it would have been if it had been written after 9/11/01....

One of the best spy-thriller I have ever read. A perfect blend of spy-thriller and Sci-fi.
The bio-terrorism and the conspiracy based story was quite interesting, especially after this COVID pandemic situation.
The story development is good. The character development and designing was also amazing. Looking forward to read the next book in the series.

I know Ludlum and this isn't Ludlum. We live in an age where authors have become brands after their death. Robert B. Parker, Robert Ludlum, James Patterson (he's alive but his soul is spent.)
This novel is too long, there are too many plot holes, and the pacing is tedious. I can't belive I finished it. And I'll probably read another because I'm a masochist.

I really like that Robert Ludlum novels are easy to read, and suspenseful...but his writing skills are lacking. The characters are undeveloped, sometimes the plot os so ridiculous you just want to laugh. But I still enjoy reading his books. I just wouldn't call them literary masterpieces.

Very exciting! I should have known I would enjoy this co-op with Robert Ludlum. The characters build nicely and I look forward to meeting them again in the next in the series.
Because this is pretty much non-stop action I had a hard time finding a place to stop to sleep, etc. I liked the quick pace and chapter length.

A solid 3 1/2 stars. I have read covert one books before and always enjoy them. This one was a little long for me but the story was good - I do have trouble believing that anyone is THAT evil, but I think that is my naivete
