“Welcome to Robert Ludlum’s world...fast pacing, tight plotting, international intrigue.”   —Cleveland Plain Dealer
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 there’s one difference between Hal and the other patients—Hal isn’t 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, he’s out to discover who stashed him there and why—but the world he returns to isn’t the one he remembers. Friends and longtime associates don’t 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.

    I am not a big fan of Robert Ludlum, but I did find the Bourne trilogy quite entertaining. However, this "Ambler Warning" is pretty bad – the plot is 90% similar to Bourne Identity and the writing is 70% of Robert Ludlum's standard (which wasn't terribly brilliant to begin with, esp with those random snippets in faux foreign language). I regret spending the money and time on this book.
