Summary: Depressive, as it seems like a final farwell
Review: A Mature and aging 50's would say that having read every book published, the Matarese Countdown struck me as a "goodbye". I don't quite understand it, but let me tell you that the books produced by Ludlum have taken me from the lows that this earth can throw to you to the highs of anticipation. Having been through the ropes more than once on a world wide level, it is scary to say the least, that the consolidated minds of humans, allow someone within that range, to affect a regrouping of its thoughts and put itself back into reality. In all due respect, I call you Mr. Ludlum, and if I would be able to contribute what you have to mankind, I would have solace within myself. You have touched the "botton" once again. You have drawn me from the depths of hell, back to the ordinary, no matter what the inners tell you your duty is in this world. Touching on the abstract, which you know to be true, but unverifiable, allows you to enjoy human nature among its ! splendid scenery and the decency of human abilities. Thank YOU.

Summary: I very much enjoyed the "Matarese countdown."
Review: I have always enjoyed Mr Ludlum's books "The Holcroft Convenant" was the first discovered when in hospital having my first son. These book have made me very cynical about the Establishment - so you can imagine my surprise whe half way thru the Matarese Countdown when the Asian stockmarkets took a nose dive and there was general global unrest; This was followed by the renewal in interest of the alleged sex shenanegans going on in the White House. what is a girl to think? Where does Mr Ludlum get his inside information? Does this prove the conspiracy theory of world politics in which Fox Mulder has become entangled?Keep up the writing Mr Ludlum.I also LOVED the book about the Pope taking an unscheduled break.Hope you are fully fit and well, and I would love to have a wee message from Mr Ludlum...
