  <description><![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;On Parrish Island, off the coast of Virginia, lies a psychiatric facility. Far from prying eyes, it is a government-run hospital for former intelligence employees in possession of highly classified information. Former Consular Operations agent Hal Ambler is one of these patients whose mind is filled with secrets of state&#8212;and is considered such a security risk that he is kept heavily medicated and closely watched. But there&#8217;s one critical difference between Ambler and the other patients&#8212;Ambler isn&#8217;t crazy. Now he must find a way to escape the facility, find out who put him there, and uncover the truth of who he was&#8230;and why someone is willing to risk everything to see him dead.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;]]></description>

    <![CDATA[On Parrish Island, a restricted island off the coast of Virginia, there is a little known and never visited psychiatric facility. There, far from prying eyes, the government stores former intelligence employees whose psychiatric state make them a danger to their own government, people whose ramblings might endanger ongoing operations or prove dangerously inconvenient. One of these employees, former Consular Operations agent Hal Ambler, is kept heavily medicated and closely watched. But theres one difference between Hal and the other patientsHal isnt crazy. With the help of a sympathetic nurse, Hal manages to first clear his mind of the drug-induced haze and then pulls off a daring escape. Free, hes out to discover who stashed him there and whybut the world he returns to isnt the one he remembers. Friends and longtime associates dont remember him, there are no official records of Hal Ambler, and when he first sees himself in the mirror, the face that looks back at him is not the one he knows as his own.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[Good suspense, though very poorly written.  I don't know if it's because it was a Ludlum manuscript finished off by someone else...I vaguely remember Ludlum being a slightly better writer than this (but did recently read somewhere else that he wasn't known for his writing per se, more for the action...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/69539226">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[An excellent book. Somewhat reminiscent of the Borne series, however I preferred this story line.  It is a fun read and keeps you interested in the quirky characters that appear throughout. It built well upon the plot and nicely achieved a balance between predictability and credibility.]]></body>

    <![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;On Parrish Island, off the coast of Virginia, lies a psychiatric facility. Far from prying eyes, it is a government-run hospital for former intelligence employees in possession of highly classified information. Former Consular Operations agent Hal Ambler is one of these patients whose mind is filled with secrets of state&#8212;and is considered such a security risk that he is kept heavily medicated and closely watched. But there&#8217;s one critical difference between Ambler and the other patients&#8212;Ambler isn&#8217;t crazy. Now he must find a way to escape the facility, find out who put him there, and uncover the truth of who he was&#8230;and why someone is willing to risk everything to see him dead.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;]]>
