  <default_description>In this wickedly funny novel, Robert Ludlum combines the explosive pacing of &lt;b&gt;The Bourne Identity&lt;/b&gt; and &lt;b&gt;The Bourne Supremacy&lt;/b&gt; with a bitingly witty send-up of everything from government bureaucrats and pandering military men to the mob, the law, and organized religion. &lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/b&gt;War hero and infamous ladies&amp;#8217; man, General MacKenzie Hawkins is a living legend. His life story had even been sold to Hollywood. But now he stands accused of defacing a historic monument in China&amp;#8217;s Forbidden City. Under house arrest in Peking, with a case against him pending in Washington, it looks like the end of Mac&amp;#8217;s illustrious career. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;But he has a plan of his own&amp;#8212;and it includes kidnapping the Pope. What&amp;#8217;s the ransom? Just one American dollar&amp;#8212;&lt;i&gt;for every Catholic in the world&lt;/i&gt;. Add to the mix a slew of shady &amp;#8220;investors,&amp;#8221; Hawkins&amp;#8217;s four persuasive, well-endowed ex-wives, and a young lawyer and fellow soldier who wants nothing more than to return to private life&amp;#8212;and you&amp;#8217;ve got one relentlessly irreverent page-turner.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[Ludlum isn't my author of choice normally. I know that the Bourne books are very popular they are just not for me. So when my reading group picked this book I really resisted. I am very glad I broke down and read it though. This is not a spy novel. It is very funny with great character development. ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/52763272">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Silly, stupid book.  Originally written under a pseudonym, I think because it's so odd.  Tries to be more humorous than it actually is.  Entertaining, I guess.]]></body>
