Summary: Boring
Review: OK, I love early Ludlum. That about says it. Icarus starts off too slow, never picks up and should not be signed by Ludlum at all. Wonder if that's when his books started to be ghost-written. Giving it 2 stars in case it was written by Ludlum.

Summary: Intrigue and romance
Review: Robert Ludlum is one of my 3 favorite authors. He transcends the gender factor in all of his books. I got my son (33 years old) reading his books and even he enjoys the little bit of romance Ludlum puts in his books.The suspense of the plots keep me on the edge of my chair. I work 8-5 Monday through Friday and have often still been reading when my alarm would go off. I have a hard time doing anything else when I have one of his books.

Summary: OK...Where's the rest of the book?
Review: The book in general was spectacular, the story was drawn out just a little bit, but it was a great book. My only question: Where is the sequel?!?!?!? Once you read the book you will find that a sequel is necessary, but it doesn't exist, so no 5 out of 5 for Ludlum this time.

Summary: A wonderful novel that Rates a Definite Sequel
Review: This book is one of my favorite's. I only gave it four Stars due to the fact that it has not beared a Sequal(That I know of).

Summary: An exciting book
Review: This book picked up on a similar experience that was experienced by America,the seizing of the American embassy. In the Icarus Agenda the embassy is seized by a bunch of rabid terrorists. A hero comes in the form of an American Congressman.He of course comes through. The interjection of the Isreali commandos makes this a further good read. Another conspiracy being hatched by the Vice- President and some of his followers adds another ring to the stort. The Congressman due to a leak of a mole is placed in immense danger. He manages to survive the attack of the terrorists and then line up for the Vice-Presidency after thr Vice- President dies. A very fast paced book with plenty of excitement. I wish that Ludlum would do a sequel. Read this book.
Rating: 
Summary: Very disappointing
Review: This was the first Ludlum book that I've been disappointed with. I found it to be slow and tedious. I kept waiting for it to pick up, but found that it never really got off the ground. This book is a rarity, a Ludlum novel I wouldn't recommend.

Summary: Another winner
Review: What is not to like about this book? It has probably the best hero in all of Ludlumville - Evan Kendrick. The story of the Middle East is intriguing and the action and conclusion are near perfection. This is one of those books in which I enjoyed the changing of the settings with the chapters. Also, as another reviewer has written, it is really more than one book - each of which could have been flushed out to a story of its own. There is not a lot of fluff in this one despite its size.
