Personal Book Review 1 : The Rhinemann Exchange by Robert Ludlum

Tweet

Frankly, I am late by a month plus in sharing a personal book review. The book : The Rhinemann Exchange by Robert Ludlum. This action thriller is one of the earliest (and perhaps the earliest) work by Robert Ludlum and got a good review across the media. The story is in the backdrop of the WWII and follows the protagonist, an American spy with European roots in his journey as a spy in Portugal and surroundings and then to US and Argentina. He gets caught in midst of a big muddle and a dangerous plot to alter the course of the war. Fast paced and brutal at times, the story is a big page turner. Yes, as with other Ludlum works, one could feel a sense of being overwhelmed and being lost among multiple characters but that is overshadowed by sudden twists and turns and an unimaginable ending. Overall, a must read if one has an interest in this genre. Image : The book cover page.
