Another best seller from Ludlum. It is an interesting, enjoyable book of 664 pages. ISBN 0-553-56603-2.
Ludlum is a master storyteller specializing in intrigue, suspense, and action thrillers full of conspiracies, violence and fast pace, movement, energy and action. Scorpio Illusion has all of these. Amaya Bajaratt, a western women married to an Arab revolutionary is also an accomplished terrorist. After the death of her husband in an encounter with Israeli commandos, she embarks on a mission of revenge.
An unnamed terrorist organization having taken up a contract sponsored by "scorpios", assigns the mission of assassinating the American President to this woman terrorist. When she starts putting her action plan together western intelligence agencies start smelling the rat which makes them alive to the developing conspiracy.
They manage to recruit Tyrell Hawthorne, an ex-naval intelligence officer with impeccable accomplishments to his credit, who had quit the job after mysterious death of his wife under suspicious circumstances. Hawthorne single handedly (mostly) manages to unravel the mystery, trace the plot and the links, thwart the plan,kill the terrorist and save the world from chaos which were engineered by scorpios, the secret organization. The author manages to get the reader glued to the book with fast paced action, multiple layers of intrigue, and interesting situations over a vast backdrop and wider canvass of characters. The scenes cover a huge landscape ranging from Palestine to Europe, Caribbean, and US.

Anyway, Ludlum books are a fun to read, and this book too is an enjoyable thriller of vintage Ludlum variety.
