"Took me a bit to get into it. Seemed a little slow at first. Ended up being a very riveting book. Being a fan of Spec. Ops/Spy novels this was right up my alley. Loved the time period. I am used to reading more modern (post 9/11) books and this was refreshing. " — Rob (4 out of 5 stars)

" One of the greatest modern spy thrillers. A landmark work. The equal of--and successor to--iconic titles like 'Marathon Man' and 'Odessa File'. "
" one of my all time favorites "
" A very good action thriller. Another book I couldnt put down. "
" A great story and easy read. What a luxurious Sunday. Between eating, playing with my kids and watching a little Olympics, I read the whole book in one day. "
" The premise of this book was interesting, but man did this book drag on forever. "
" Holy crap! if you want to go on a whirl wind adventure, from the first page until the end,then read this book. It is everything an espionage thriller should be and more.... "
" A gripping read. "
" Maybe my favorite spy novel of all time. "
" Read most of his books. Thrillers, espionage. "
" An engaging spy thriller that isn't outdated even now. Reads fast, mixes up action and plot in a world-wide arena. Bought it at the local thrift store and it was a good deal. "
" Amazing read. I've read it twice over a decade ago and I still remember vividly how much I enjoyed it. A true suspense/espionage classic. "
" One of my desert island books. I can't get enough of the engaging characters and the premise of the book. "
" There isn't much I can say except this was a great book. I haven't read any spy novels before this but... I'm definitely a fan of the genre (now). I suggest anyone who's looking for a good read to pick this up. It's pretty old but all the best books are. "
" This book was a disappointment. A preposterous premise and little character development. I resorted to skimming toward the end, just wanted it to be over. "
" Hmmm . . . very interesting twists and turns, a little brutal. A lot of spy kind of violence. "
" I didn't enjoy this book. I chose it because it was recommended by an author I liked. Very difficult to connect with characters. "
" This was really one of the best spy novels I've ever read. It was really emotionally charged, which you don't see in a lot of spy novels. It's hard for me to say too much without spoiling anything, but I highly recommend this book. "
" As Ludlum-esque as a non-Ludlum book can get. And one of the top 5 thrillers read, all time. Slightly unsatisfactory ending, though. "
" I really loved the storyline. I thought it bogged down slightly in the middle. I understand why, however i think it could have been lessened somewhat. I've read it three times over the years so that say's a lot. "
" This is an excellent thriller. I like Mr. Morrell's writing style and ability to keep the tension high. Amazingly, I have only read two of his books. I need to read some more of his books. "
" I never hesitate to steal this book off my brother Doug's bookshelf. It's a good solid thriller/spy novel. some of his other books fall short but this one is absolutely great "
" One of my favorite writers from a few years ago. David Morrell is the king of conspiraces from a few years ago. This is the poster child...two orphans raised from a very early age to be part of a group of ultra loyal assasins. "
" I read these books a long time ago. They are high action and high adventure spy books. David Morrell is an awesome writer. "
" Too implausible - to formulaic. "
" Interesting concept. Enjoyed this quite a bit. "
" I love almost anything by David Morrell. This was the book that turned me on to his fast paced, heart-stopping style of writing. If you like mystery, action, and page-turning intrigue, read this. "
" This is my favorite book by David Morrell. Spies murder intrigue twisted plot lines...love it! "
" Excellent book. Never has a dead mouse excited me so much! "
" I read this back in the mid-80's when it first came out in paperback. My son just read it this past week. We have both enjoyed it. Excellent mystery with a few good twists. "
" The book is too predictable, but its a light read. I read this book in two sittings. I consider this book to be like fastfood, seems to be enjoyable at first but when your finished the satisfaction is gone. "
" New author for me. Foster brothers, both CIA, being hunted by their boss. Didn't like the characters nor the dialog. Didn't finish. "
" Pretty good writing and story line. Some of it was hard to follow since technology has changed so much over the last 30 years since it was written. His tech explanations were kind of hard to follow, but I still enjoyed the story. "
