In my opinion, not one of Mr. Ludlum's best and not one of his worst novels. "The Gemini Contenders" The novel starts off in 1939 and follows the lives of the Fontini-Cristi family over the next several decades, as they navigate the mysteries of religious documents that, in the wrong hands, could endanger the faith of millions of Christians across the world. The plot is full of twists and turns, which keep the novel interesting. A bit graphic and violent at times. If you are a fan of World War II historical fiction and you haven't read this novel, you may wish to add it to your tbr list. ( ) This is a 1976 entry in the fanatical/psychotic Christian sect - world shattering Religious Artefact supressed for centuries sub-genre of the thriller. It's a good deal more competent than a more recent such book that also features a trip to the Louvre, but then so are my schoolboy fictions. It deviates somewhat from the standard Ludlum formula, being one of the few with a historical setting and straggling through three generations of protagonists. This latter is a bit disconcerting but this volume is still a swift read, full of incident. Neither in the top nor bottom rank of Ludlum's many works.
[Ludlum's] most ambitious, and I think it is also his best... Mr. Ludlum brings off his long story with a marvelously unflagging imagination. Sisältyy tähän:Innoitti:Lever Templar (tekijä: Matt Gianni) DistinctionsNotable Lists
