Being a huge fan of 'The Bourne Identity', I was excited to dip right into this, but found it so similar that it felt a little more than just paying homage to Robert Ludlum's excellent works. No matter how hard I tried I simply couldn't shake the uncomfortable feeling that this was a inferior knock off, and I found incredibly difficult to get through as a result. Don't get me wrong, the premise is sound, as is the writing, and there was certainly plenty of action throughout. If you're a lover of Robert Ludlum and looking for a novel which could pass as something he's written then give this a shot as it's highly likely you'll enjoy it. It's by no means a bad read, but as I said, it certainly isn't as original as it first sounds. Should Scott Reardon publish more of his work i'd definitely interested in seeing what it's like. He appears to have all the components to become a bestseller himself, all he really needs is that all important unique idea!
