Finder is a master storyteller. This is a good novel of international intrigue about a former CIA agent that became involved in a project that left him the ability to "hear" other people's thoughts. An interesting story with lively events and a cast of characters, none of whom can be trusted.

EXCELLENT!

pretty good, a bit farfetched

A wild ride of a read, with one potential problem for some readers. It's basically a spy thriller, but opens with and realies heavily on a science fiction device which must be accepted without question by the reader or the rest of the book just doesn't work. Overall, I enjoyed it, but the "spy sci-fi" theme was always there in the background of my consciousness.

This is a reprint from 20 years ago, I didn't realize it at the time but it didn't alter the fact I found it to be interesting in the first half but getting into the second half it just seemed to drag and I hate books that keep inserting words I can't pronounce, etc. I gave up on it and went on to something else.
