    About this audiobook

    When Dunstone, Ltd., offers Alex McAuliff, a geologist, $2 million to survey Jamaica's dark interior, there's a catch: no one can know Dunstone's involved. But British Intelligence finds out and warns Alex that the last survey team Dunstone dispatched vanished without a trace.

    Now Alex knows too much, and he's a marked man from the moment he lands in Jamaica. But who wants him dead? Dunstone? A rival company? British Intelligence? In this island paradise, a beautiful woman might be a spy and Alex's only clue to survival is a single mysterious word: Halidon.

      This is an early Ludlum book ... and it shows. Character development is shallow and inconsistent. The plot is predictable. Still, it's a good time passer.
    • 3/5
      I was disappointed in this one, I coulnd't quite get into it. The characters didn't seem very real and needed more development. As a result, I was reading as an observer without feeling for the characters or caring how things would come out. The suspense/mystery portion of the story didn't completely make sense. mabye I missed an element, but it made it difficult to follow. The action got exciting toward the end, but the book didn't impress me well overall.
    • 3/5
      First published with copyright 1974 as authored by Jonathan Ryder, pseudonym of Robert Ludlum. The Bantam Books edition I read updated copyright by Robert Ludlum for the 1996 Introduction that adds a distinctive treasure to the reading experience of this novel.

      With featured settings between London and multiple locations in Jamaica it is an armchair thriller that highlights corporate greed and sets the stage for an understanding of today's reality on the possibilities that could occur with an infiltration of MI6 to corporate boardrooms and how the politics can change with leadership or "lack thereof." In some ways similar to a Helen MacInnes thriller where the reader ponders if the author had a magic ball to see into the future as their vivid imagination almost mirrors some of today's headlines.
    • 2/5
      Not one of his best. Neither the story nor the characters impressed me. I won't be re-reading this one. (It was a redo of one written many years ago -- his immaturity showed.)
