I am in the process of reading all of Ludlum's novels chronologically. So I cannot say this is the best of his life's work since I am not there yet. But I can say this is the best of his early novels up through 1976 that I have read so far.
It is a gripping tale spanning three generations of one family covering events from 1920 through the Viet Nam war. Full of intrigue, the secret at its center has worldwide implications for the Christian religion. It is not a religious story however. It is one of Ludlum's masterpieces of the suspense novel. Unlike his "Road to Gandolfo," the premise and plot of which I found to be preposterous and thus rather difficult to get through, this tale is fully believable and holds the reader's attention throughout.
