Publisher's Summary
Michael Havelock's world died on a moonlit beach on the Costa Brava. He watched as his partner and lover, Jenna Karats, double agent, was efficiently gunned down by his own agency. There was nothing left for him but to quit the game, get out.
Until, in one frantic moment on a crowded railroad platform in Rome, Havelock saw his Jenna alive. From then on, he was marked for death by both U.S. and Russian assassins, racing around the globe after his beautiful betrayer, trapped in a massive mosaic of treachery created by a top-level mole with the world in his fist.

"A twisted spy novel"
What did you love best about The Parsifal Mosaic?The best thing I liked about this book is the way that they kept you guessing who was the top enemy spy until near the end of the book.
What did you like best about this story?Scott Brick does a good job of portraying the characters and keeping them real.
Which scene was your favorite?My favorite scene is when the enemy spy master sends people to kill the doctor and his body guards only to find out that it's a trap so he sends another of his teams to take out the first team he sent so they can't get caught in the trap, really cold.

"Lumbering Ludlum"
It is a good thing Robert Ludlum writes a good adventure because this book is long and full of great detail. To tell the truth I selected it over several I was considering because of Scott Brick who I think is fantastic. If you are feeling that you want to get lost in an endless story this is a great choice.

"Fantastic!"
It has been a long time since I read Ludlum. I enjoyed his books when I was in college 20 years ago. I had forgotten how good his books are. Although times have changed with the end of the Cold War, this book is superb with universal themes of love, loyalty and betrayal. Listening has been even better than reading because Scott Brick is an incredible narrator.

"How can I return a title?"
What would have made The Parsifal Mosaic better?Very boring. Just awful. Nothing can make it better.
What could Robert Ludlum have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?Nothing. Wait a minute! He could have not writtten it! Thats' it!
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Scott Brick?Joe Barrett
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?Disappointment.
Any additional comments?There are so many Russians in the USA! Is it SO hard to consult with them regarding pronunciation of several Russian words?? Ask me, if there is no other option.

"Wow!!!"
This is by far the best and most exciting of the Ludlam books in my opinion. I would have liked to get all the way through in one sitting but I do have to eat and sleep. I'm sure glad I'm retired so I could listen for longer periods at a time.

"Dated, Slow Moving, Vague Story"
Would you try another book from Robert Ludlum and/or Scott Brick?I might try another Ludlum, but this plot was so dated and mired in the 70's balance of power power world, it was hard to relate to. The plot moves very slowly and is vague and obtuse. Scott Brick does his usual good job, but it seems that even he has a hard time staying interested in this book.
Would you ever listen to anything by Robert Ludlum again?Probably not.
Did the narration match the pace of the story?Yes, but that's not a good thing. The story was so bad, it was hard for the narrator to keep it interesting.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?I was disappointed. Some of Ludlum's other books or co-authored books have been interesting.

"A GREAT STORY NOT A BORING SECOND, A MUST LISTEN"
What made the experience of listening to The Parsifal Mosaic the most enjoyable?THE MOST ENJOYABLE LISTENING IS MADE BY THE NARRATOR, SCOTT BRICK.HE IS A AUDIBLE SELLER, HE IS THE STORY.
What does Scott Brick bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?SCOTT BRICK'S VOICE, DIALETS MAKES THE STORY MORE INTERESTING,, HE MAKES THE STORY COME TO LIFE AND KEEPS YOU INTERESTED EVEN THOUGH SOMETIMES THE STORY GETS BORING. OVER 20 HOURS OF GREAT LISTINING.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?NO.
Any additional comments?I WILL USE MY POINTS ON ANY NOVEL MYSTERY OR LOVE STORY THAT SCOTT BRICK NARRATES.
