Product Details

Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Ludlum's tale of international intrigue was originally published under a pseudonym in 1975.
Copyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc.

Product Description

Alex McAuliff has received an offer he can't refuse: two million dollars for a geological survey of Jamaica's dark interior. All Dunstone, Limited, requires is his time, his expertise, and his absolute secrecy. No one—not even McAuliff's handpicked team—can know of Dunstone's involvement.

But British Intelligence is aware of the deal and they've let Alex in on a secret of their own: the last survey team Dunstone dispatched to Jamaica vanished without a trace. Now it's too late to turn back. Alex already knows about Dunstone...which means he knows too much.

From the moment he lands in Jamaica, Alex is a marked man. But who wants him dead? Dunstone? A rival company? Or British Intelligence? Here in an island paradise where even a beautiful woman might be a spy, every move could be his last, and his only clue to survival is a single mysterious word: Halidon.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not Ludlum's Best!, Mar 29 2003
By Melvin Hunt (Cleveland,, Texas United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
After you have read Ludlum's other better books "Cry of the Halidon" is without question a bitter dissapointment.The main
characters involved in the book fail to carry the story. The plot is very confusing and nearly impossible to read and understand.Ludlum must have wrote this book to pay a Lexus note.
It is not on a caliber of his previous or later books. If you can
find this book at a used book store buy it. Otherwise leave it alone.

2.0 out of 5 stars If It Went Any Slower, I'd Fall Asleep At The Wheel, April 11 2002
By Jon Covey (Torrance, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I've enjoyed several Ludlum novels, but this one is very slow and it seems to be going almost no where. I'm half way through and don't see much point in going on except to make the most of money I spent for the CD version. It certainly isn't an action-packed thriller I was hoping for. I'd give it 5 stars for non-action and lots of meaningless "yadda, yadda, yadda" if such a category existed.

1.0 out of 5 stars Desparately needs a competent editor.
I have read most of Ludlum's novels, and I usually can't put them down. I found that I was so distracted by the need to correct his grammar, usage, and spelling that I almost... Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars With some exeptions, solid and interesting book
It is not the best Ludlum, but it keeps you going. I find some of the plot bit naive, but then again most of Ludlum plots are rather fiction. Read more

I read about 150 pages or so into this book and about all that happened so far is that the main character has a lot of shady people following him around, he's involved with a... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Tightly paced, action-packed thriller
I picked up this book in desperation in an airport several years ago. I couldn't put it down! My mother was travelling with me, and had the same response that I did. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing if you've read his other books
Having read such mega thrillers as " The Apocalypse Watch " , this book was a utter disappointment. The plot was just too simple and slow moving. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars What a cockamamie story!
This is one of the most ludicrous books I've ever read. Robert Ludlum must need the money badly to trot out this old nag again.

1.0 out of 5 stars a real clunker
This is the worst Robert Ludlum book I have encountered. The book had a very dumb plot, the characters were passe in the extreme (okay it was written some years ago) and the... Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Thank God he learned to write after this one!
I was relieved to find out that this was Ludlum's first book and not a recent one. He has certainly come a long way since The Cry of the Halidon. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Fast paced action, never let up for a instant.
Vintage Ludlum, from early in his carrer. The more recent fans of Robert Ludlum will enjoy going back to read this book first published under the pen-name Jonathan Ryder, this is... Read more
