    About this audiobook

    Robert Ludlum's wayward hero, the outrageous General MacKenzie Hawkins, returns with a diabolical scheme to right a very old wrong-and wreak vengeance on the [redacted] who drummed him out of the military. Discovering a long-buried 1878 treaty with an obscure Indian tribe, the Hawk, a.k.a. Chief Thunder Head, hatches a brilliant plot that will ultimately bring him and his reluctant legal eagle, Sam Devereaux, before the Supreme Court. Their goal is to reclaim a choice piece of American real estate: the state of Nebraska, which just so happens to be the headquarters of the U.S. Strategic Air Command. Their outraged opposition will be no less than the CIA, the Pentagon, and the White House. And only one thing is certain: Ludlum will keep us in nonstop suspense-and side-splitting laughter-through the very last page.

      Pretty lame attempt at humor.
    • 2/5
      The Road to Gandolfo wasn't Ludlum's best; this sequel heads downhill from there. Given how poor his later books were, it's hard to figure out if he was seriously trying to write a humorous suspense novel (which is how I interpret Gandolfo) or whether he was lampooning his own works. I'll just say that it didn't work that well—we ended up with a tedious, overly-complicated story that I didn't think was quite worth the 600 pages.
