This was a beautiful masterpiece from ludlum. The matarese countdown as a followup was pure rubbish compared to it.
pure rubbish? robert ludlum never wrote a book that's a write-off.. believe me ..he neva did.. matarese countdown is as intriguing as matarese circle

firestar: Oh! I just remembered this novel written by one 'sick' African American....The 'Milk in my cofee series'... Now, that's raw in every sense of real or is it the other way round? embarassed undecided
the king and queen of raw are Harold Robbins and Jackie Collins! Always feel i av 'sinned' after reading their books...but they are very good writers.
The 'Users'...anybody heard of that? Read it a long time ago and it was raw then, maybe not now.
Will check out the milk in coffee series

Tot i was thru with John Grisham but i just saw the confessor and the appeal here.
I rate Archer and Sheldon above Grisham...because they are more diverse in their characters and plots. Grisham is usually law except [b] painted house [/b]and bleachers.
Painted house?..GOD i really respect that book

I assume u mean 'Partners' by John Grisham?
you are right. That novel is a masterpiece. I will also recommend u read '' the runaway jurry '' and '' rage of angels '' by sidney sheldon. I think sidney and grisham are my best novelists

'Random Factor' - Mark Tiedemann - 1978. Everything I've read and I mean everything from Uris, Forsyth, Ludlum, Clancy, you name it, pales into absolute insignificance. You simply cannot put this novel down. How I got a copy, I cannot remember. It was never officially published and after more than 15 years of searching cannot find it to buy. 50k for a legible copy.

The sorrows of satan or the strange experience of a certain Geoffry Tempest....

Meeeehn!!!! I'm still looking for another copy to buy. You should try and read Jeffrey Archer's "A Prisoner of Birth". That's another masterpiece.
