An international circle of killers, the Matarese will undoubtedly take over the world within just two years. Only two rival spies have the power to stop them: Scofield, CIA, and Talaniekov, KGB. They share a genius for espionage and a life of explosive terror and violence. But though these sworn enemies once vowed to terminate each other, they must now become allies. Because only they possess the brutal skills and ice-cold nerves vital to their mission: destroy the Matarese.

Good long story. Think I was half way through before getting the point though. Still, good second goad.

It’s a good book but the audio is very distorted. First time I’ve ever experienced that. Sounded like it was recorded from an old transistor radio

Worst Audio quality ever

A great story. Well worth the time. One of Ludlum's best. Pritchard is an excellent narrator.

Classic espionage
