Commentary Supposing Books De Icarus Intrige

Colorado Congressman Evan Kendrick is trying to live out his term quietly when a political mole reveals his deepest secret: Kendrick was the anonymous hero who freed the hostages held by Arab terrorists in the American embassy in Masqat, and then silently disappeared. Now, brought into the light, Kendrick is a target, pursued by the terrorists he once outwitted. Together with the beautiful woman who saved his life, Kendrick enters a deadly arena where the only currency is blood, where frightened whispers speak of violence yet to come, and where the fate of the free world may ultimately rest in the powerful hands of a mysterious figure known only as the Mahdi.

Piece Regarding Books De Icarus Intrige
I keep forgetting that I need to concentrate if I'm planning to read a book by Robert Ludlum. Seem to spend half my time confused about what is going on.Enjoyable book in 2 halves - 1st half concentrates on a crisis in the Middle East and then the 2nd on the repercussions when the hero returns home and is catapulted to the top of political life.

Airplane fodder...Ludlum writes great thrillers. Picked up this oldie but goodie on the cheap at a yard sale or something.As I was reading this I thought, "Hmmm, this could make a good movie. Maybe two movies given the depth." When I finished it I looked around to see if there was a sequel. Imagine the representative from Colorado as the president... What I found was the prequel, currently in production as a movie! Leo DiCaprio as the lead. Ugh.A little dated by today's standards in terms of

Take out the romance angle and there's a good story here. (Please note that this is coming from a romance author so...)



I thought this was ok in parts but by today's standards in international thrillers, and espionage, and fast-paced global-terrorist novels, it seems a bit forced. Imagine putting on dark make-up in order to pass off a white man as an Arab!! Hmmm. Problems. But still, there is a certain fascination with the political dimensions of this: I found myself compelled to read on.

Entertaining... not as over the top as a Matthew Reilly story but certainly along the lines of a Raiders of the Lost Ark.. lots of action and twist in the 900+ page book.A great holiday read but don't look for anything to deep.Although written some time ago, current political events make it still relevant.

An ex building contractor who worked in the Middle East with his friend an Israeli architect has become a congressman as he was so angry about the corruption of his predecessor. He is not interested in fame and politics but a secret group have decided he needs to do more in politics in the USA - and start moving him towards the deputy top job. This is after the first phase of the book where he volunteers to go under cover into Oman because of an embassy hostage situation. He goes into danger and
