Thoughts:
The Osterman Weekend
This is a clever, intriguing and fun book which has glimmers of the genius which Robert Ludlum is about to become. The characters come to life, even though not all of them are likeable or pleasant.
I’ve enjoyed this book (not as much as I enjoyed Ludlum’s later releases) simply because it intrigued me, the characters were interesting and the plot was fascinating since both the reader and the main character have no idea what’s going on.
Even though The Osterman Weekend might seem thick, as are most of Ludlum’s books, it is a quick read and a page turner.
Synopsis:
The host of an investigative news show, John Tanner, is told by an agent of the CIA and his friends who are invited to a weekend in the country are plotting a conspiracy to threaten national security. The plan is called Omega.
John realizes that he doesn’t know his closest friends as well as he thought. When the Omega plan is finally revealed, John realizes that he has been manipulated all along.
