Query: The Apocalypse Watch

One of the least exciting, most poorly written "thrillers" I've ever read. Up until this point I've been a huge Ludlum fan -- killing many a long flight or day at the beach reading such classics as the Bourne Identity and the Parsifal Mosaic. Either my tastes have drastically changed or Ludlum is just mailing it in these days. This book has a ridiculous story line, poor dialog and thoroughly uninteresting characters. Its hard to believe Ludlum would put his name on such a [bad movie].
