So back to Fiction- Thriller reading.
The author : Robert Ludlum.
For those who are familiar with me, I have shared about other Ludlum books as well.
This one has the WW II settings. Initially the story looked like a commonplace one.
Yet now the pace is increasing and so is the interesting bit.

Am a Ludlum fan also but honestly, I only got to read the Materese Circle and Bourne Identity. I couldn't afford buying more books back in the 80's.
For sure the thriller is a page turner.

You can surely buy some Ludlum books now.
I would recommend Cassandra Compact, The Matarese Countdown and The Sigma Protocol.
This one is interwined with events in WW II.

Then you can go for some lighter novels. But which novelist? I am not sure.

Yes. The interesting part is that Robert Ludlum has followed a slightly different way of writing in this book than in some other books.
At times, I have to put in some efforts to visualize some kinds of Terrains across Forests and ravines as talked about in a part of Spain but even that sort of things excite me now.
Perhaps not so much for someone who is not that much into reading Novels and long stories.

Not all authors simplify.
or may be some assume some of their readers to visualize in certain ways!

The current story has the author talking about ravines, caves, bushes and undulating terrain with many trees. Since I have not traveled much across such areas, it is hard visualizing some of these things.
However, the author had written this novel in 1975 and may be had a certain audience across US or Europe in mind, and that too a select audience.
So his writing style could be keeping that in mind. Plus his own ex-Navy personnel bias as well.
