Ludlum is a book writing machine. It cracks me up that the pictures of the author make him appear to be one of his characters. However, having said that... his books never fail to captivate me. This book is no different.
The Ambler Warning is a journey. The reader and the main character journey through a
believeably explained (albiet fictional) series of events that have led to the main characters lack of identity. Now, I'm no specialist on high level covert operations, but the story is fast, fun to read and slightly mind bending.
The ending was great.
Yes Yes, I guessed the ending about 1/2 way through... and you may guess it too, however the story was so riveting that I couldn't put the book down. I needed to find out if my guesses were correct.
This book is a nice walk down the fictional lane of government espionage and high level covert activity. Like a weekend vacation, this book was an 8 hour furlough from the
drudgery of my uneventful soccer Mom life into the action packed fictional life of the larger than life characters that
Ludlum loves and creates so well.
I give this book two chubby thumbs up!
