desertcart.com: The Matarese Countdown: 9780553106671: Ludlum, Robert: Books Review: Great - Great Review: A whodunnit follow up to Circle focusing on The Who rather than e how. - This was a continuation to Matarese Circle. Everybody is older and the “the usual suspects” are “baaack.” In many ways it was a pragmatic approach to the story, now that everyone is decades older. The drama was similar to Circle, but it’s more of a “whodunnit” or “who’s the bad guy now.” Both are good spy stories but Countdown is more about The Who and Circle is more about the How. Both good reads. I read them years ago and bought them back for Kindle reads.

A whodunnit follow up to Circle focusing on The Who rather than e how.

evil runs deep
A wonderful sequel that’s probably more engaging than the first. Very tough to put down and hugely creative. Doubt there will be a third.

Nice read
The storyline was interesting. I have to admit it got a bit tedious for me...I skipped to the end and went back and finished. A few minor things worked a nerve but all in all, a well told story.

Wow the action and the story are solid entertainment.
I have read most of R Ludlum's books as a teenager and I must say that he is a master of spy-craft and intrigue. I would recommend this to any intellectual who like read. If you like intrigue and far away lands the Robert Ludlum books are in you line of sight

Another classic
Materese Dynasty. Two fantastic reads. Rally enjoyed this series. Looking forward to reading more from Ludlum. Edge of seat from start to finish.

What's Next
Ok, I have read the first two, now what? I am hooked on the Matarese and I am sure there is more to come but when. Kept up through the night and day. Love the characters but hated to see Visili go. Bring it on.

Very disappointing and lackluster. The author wants to project the hero as modern Superman and fails miserably.what a downfall.

Toch weer een zeer inventief verhaal. In vervolg op de eerste Matarese story. En toch weer vol spanning en gruwelijkheden.
