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. Image : Taken of the front cover

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.

@eileenleyva 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.

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

@just4him 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.

@just4him Not all authors simplify. or may be some assume some of their readers to visualize in certain ways!

@just4him 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.
