Suzanne20.3 - Best Review - Nick KY's task: The Blank Blank
This task is a tribute to Robert Ludlum. Ludlum wrote bestsellers with certain formulas. They were full of confused heroes being chased by sinister forces, there was always time to rest, reflect (and become more confused), and recuperate before the next chase invariably began, and the books had catchy three word titles, the first of which was "The": The Bourne Identity, The Scorpio Illusion, The Tristan Betrayal, The Icarus Agenda, The Scarlatti Inheritance, and many, many more.
For this task read a book (written by any author) that has a three word title, the first word of which is "The." Subtitles should be ignored.
