Book Review- "The tristan betrayal"--Robert Ludlum

Well after long time i finished a fiction in flat 4 days, reading in the evenings Robert being one of my favorite author and this taut thriller was real dishy.

The review is bit late ..maybe after 6 years when book was first released but that happens if you buy the book from Salvage yard which is 'Kabbadi bazzar' or 'Old book' centre for you.Yes...i have found version of it in Gurgaon infact it just lies on border of Delhi-Gurgaon if you move through Mehrauli road, sunday traffic are sparse and so last week i made it a point to visit this guy, spread out over big compound were books in good shape all hard back shiny like new one, after search of an hr or so-- i managed to pin down three hardbacks one by Ludlum with above title , other of Stephen king and third i miss author name right now all for Rs 200/=.

So coming back to Mr Ludlum..i am being fan of his after 'Bourne series' and i have completed maximum of his novels..i'll put up a movie review of 'Bourne ultimatum' next week.

This is usual Ludlum style espionage thriller set in Nazi era and running across continents( paris/Moscow/Berlin/berne) tells ordeal/heriosm of Stephen Metcalfe..the casanova with a purpose in life.

Overall a must read for all fiction lovers.. a good weekend companion.
