Robert ludlum the scorpio illusion pdf

This was more fun to read than I thought it would be. It is a spy-thriller that is surprisingly current despite having been published in What makes it so readable is the admittedly lame but funny conversations.

It reads like James Bond with touches of 's Batman. It is very long, pages, but it reads quickly and easily. What is it about? Suppose they've already called 'em? They'll be here any minute, huntin for us! I've been away too long. Feb 24, John rated it it was amazing. The late Robert Ludlum was a master of the "secret society", often involving two or more in the intricate plots of his stories.

The Scorpio group, on the other hand is being aided and abetted, and restrained, by another group, the Providers. Whose side are these group The late Robert Ludlum was a master of the "secret society", often involving two or more in the intricate plots of his stories.

Whose side are these groups on--only the author knows. There is a high body count on both sides as everyone converges on the White House. Jun 25, Jane J. Janas, Ph. I enjoyed this action filled tale about a female terriorit that almost killed the president. Very exciting and very well written. Jan 22, Mike Kazmierczak rated it really liked it. This is a really good, typical Ludlum book. You've got a spy story mixed with the right amount of adventure, back-stabbing, violent plans, and assassination attempts, all combining to form a very good book.

The novel can be quickly summed up by saying a retired CIA operative is recruited to stop a world-class terrorist from killing the President. But by limiting yourself to just that you miss a lot of the intricacies that are so much a part of Ludlum's novels. There are always twists and turns i This is a really good, typical Ludlum book. There are always twists and turns in his stories which help to keep you on the edge of your seat the entire time.

Although, I must say that other Ludlum novels that I've read before always seemed to be more complicated than this one. It had its twists but not as many as I remember other novels having. Either way though, Ludlum is still a master at weaving intricate spy stories.

Two stars because I managed to finish it. Heads of State, assassinations, infiltration of governments at all levels Just the kind of intrigue that will keep you turning pages. This story weaves several characters together into an exciting suspense filled story. Excellent read. Ok, I loved reading this book. As different as night and day from Road to Omaha!!!! Kept my interest.

It is a big book. I wish "she" had gotten "it" in the end but we can't all get our wishes granted! I am interested to know about Hawthorne and Cathy!!! However, for me, this book is a total let-down. I was going to give it 2 stars, but the more I think of it writing this review, the more I realize that it's not even worth the 2 stars.

Terrorist wants to kill US president, aided by a network of infiltrators on key positions in US agencies. Ex-navy, now retiree is asked to stop her. About everyone involved dies except our hero and in the end he's able to stop the terrorist. Pff, how original. I also found the dialogue very weird and unnatural. Lots of exclamation marks and words in italics.

The terrorist and her partner conversed in some antiquated manner with every other sentence going like this: "Oh, my darling, I must not tell you, for you are a mere man-child. I skimmed some other Ludlum books and saw the writing style is similar. Sorry, this writer's not for me. Jul 19, Philip Edward rated it it was ok. There's a good pulp political thriller in here somewhere but man, if any book needed a copyeditor it's this one.

I really tried to finish it but it just dragged and dragged that any climax or finale didn't feel worth it anymore. Conversations between two characters last way longer than they should and it seems like the whole book is more fixated on giving you every single mundane detail in the conspiracy the story is about than well, giving you an engaging story or characters to make you feel im There's a good pulp political thriller in here somewhere but man, if any book needed a copyeditor it's this one.

Conversations between two characters last way longer than they should and it seems like the whole book is more fixated on giving you every single mundane detail in the conspiracy the story is about than well, giving you an engaging story or characters to make you feel immersed in this world to be fair a lot of characters started off as interesting but as the book trudged along, I became less fascinated with where their arcs would wind up.

This is my first Robert Ludlum book and I certainly won't use it to judge his entire bibliography, but this was a massive disappointment. Sep 12, Jess rated it it was ok. I thought it was horrible. The plot was decent, though far-fetched. The book could easily have been condensed to pages, rather than the pages it was.

That's the reason I gave it 2 stars instead of 1, which I would have if I'd put it away when the thought first hit me.

I'll never pick up a I thought it was horrible. I'll never pick up another Robert Ludlum book. I give myself 1 star for wasting the time reading it. A real struggle for my reading taste. Nov 19, kate rated it did not like it. Awful writing. Terrible dialogue. I'm a sucker for a spy novel, but this was bad.

Feb 01, Cindy Mills rated it it was ok. Slogging through it. Not impressed. Nov 26, Tomika rated it did not like it. This is a huge disappointment: I expected much more from Ludlum but this is just a very simple novel with endless, stupid and unnecessary conversations.

Nov 26, Reyhan rated it it was ok. Genuinely cured my insomnia. Took me 7 years to start reading it, which is a pity as could have done away with the many sleepless nights. Tacky and pedestrian dialogue, forgettable stock characters and incredibly boring narration. Skimmed most of it, yet found it never ending and filled with overlong one dimensional conversations. An enervating experience by itself. Would say it's the equivalent to a C grade action movie marathon.

Absolutely nothing to recall from it and experience is of just plod Genuinely cured my insomnia. Absolutely nothing to recall from it and experience is of just plodding by wooden, pointless dialogue followed by some threadbare action. The Osterman Weekend. The Matlock Paper. The Cry of the Halidon. The Rhinemann Exchange. The Gemini Contenders. The Chancellor Manuscript. The Holcroft Covenant. The Parsifal Mosaic. The Aquitaine Progression.
