The Scorpio Illusion: A Novel Audiobook

" Didn't realize I hadn't read this one. Seemed very current, was surprised to see the copy date. Fun to have one of the originals again. "

" I thought it was horrible. The plot was decent, though far-fetched. The dialogue & narrative were trite, verbose & irritating. The book could easily have been condensed to 400 pages, rather than the 664 pages it was. When I started it, I thought, 'OK, this is bad, but I'll give it 100 pages to improve.' It didn't, but by then I was hooked on the plot itself. That's the reason I gave it 2 stars instead of 1, which I would have if I'd put it away when the thought first hit me. I'll never pick up another Robert Ludlum book. I give myself 1 star for wasting the time reading it. "

" Well written, but not as extensive as it could have been.... "

" After reading the masterpiece novel "The Parsifal Mosaic", it was hard to think of the Scorpio Illusion as one of Ludlum's greatest books, but that does not mean I did not love it. I enjoyed this spy thriller very much. Got to love a great book. "

" An oldie but goodie. Much higher body count of high-level politicians than in any of his other books. "

" Robbie hasn't read this one. "

" One of the worst books I've ever read. Extremely disappointing and absurdly farfetched. Total waste of my time to read it. Very disappointed after such great thrillers as the Bourne series. "

" this was really bad, even by popular fiction standards. "

" I'm not a big spy novel kinda guy, but I must say that I truly enjoyed this book. Plenty of action and thoughtful character developement made this a page turner for me. Didn't matter that it was kind of long by todays standards; it kept me wanting more. "

" Very good, You have to pay attention but very very good... "

" Loved it. Definetely one of those that you can't put down until you've read the final word. "

" Very readable..... very Ludlum. "

" One of my classics. A book never to let... "

" THE ONLY BOOK ON ACTION AND WAR THAT I'VE READ, AT LEAST BASED ON OUR ERA (this exceptuating Conan's Adventures and many MiddleAges-setupon books) "

" Also a good one. "

" This is vintage Ludlum with the plot revolving around Bajaratt, a vicious female terrorist who is out to assassinate the President of the United States. The bodies fall often in this one. "

" Robert Ludlum never disappoints, another fine plot, great pageturner. "

" A fast paced fantastic read. I'll be looking for more of Robert's works. "

" After Bourne this is Ludlum's best novel is my opinion. It has everything you could want in one of these books. International espionage, assassination attempts, guns, etc. It doesn't try to be something that it isn't. Pure thrill and adventure without the verboseness of a Clancy novel. "

" I liked how the main character "Commander" Hawthorne kept it real during the book... especially not taking crap from other people and always sticking to his ideals. "

" Another evil conspiracy for world domination. "

" Tyrell Hawthorne is a favorite Ludlum character . Why do I like CIAish - Naval intelligence officers? Wife is murdered and now Tryrell need to help protect the life of the POTUS. Interesting when read. Not sure if re-read is wanted or needed. "

" Another highly enjoyable Ludlum with all the twists & turns and good-guys-who-are-actually-bad-guys I have come to expect. The "world's most dangerous terrorist", Amaya Bajaratt, is a wonderfully deadly baddie and one of Ludlum's best characters to date. "
