it was a huge let down for me.the writing was just mehInteresting plot. Exactly what I want from a Ludlum book
Army Lt. Col. Jonathan Smith, MD loses his beautiful fiancé to a strange new infectious disease, unknown to modern medicine and finds that when he attempts to find its source he becomes the target of a mysterious group of killers. As the story continues we find that the criminals were sent by the rogue executive of a pharmaceutical company which is responsible for the virus. Theres lots of action adventure but since this was written before 9/11 the communication technology and middle-east
I have to admit now: Robert Ludlum is my guilty pleasure.His books are addictive. I don't mind having him as my most-read author. His stories give me cheap thrills. Cheap in both literal and figurative senses. Literal because his books are being sold for about $1 or $2 and they flood the second-hand bookshops. Figurative because whenever I mention to my literary friends that I love Robert Ludlum, I do not get thumbs up unlike when I say that my favorite author is Leo Tolstoy or Alan
Awesome Heart pumping action from start to finish. It is 1:59 AM. Couldn't put it down. Cannot wait for the next one.
"The Hades Factor" is a thriller that I found fascinating. Ludlum portrays the evil character in such a believable fashion. Pandemics, pandemonium, blackmail on a massive scale - what more could a reader ask for?
Interesting premise with the deliberate plague of a virus especially with the current Ebola scare, but not a very good read. Full of the hero that can do no wrong. He goes from one improbable super heroic action to the next with very few pages between. Accompanied, of course, by the predicable and improbable tough female. All while moping over the loss of his true love to the bad guys. Oh well, the book was worth what I paid for it (0).
