Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Joel Backman had at least three aliases in this story. Which of the following was not one of them?

Answer: Luigi Rosconi

Luigi was his handler's first name; Rosconi was his tutor Ermanno's last name. His first fake passport was in the name of Major Herzog. Giovanni Ferro was the name of Francesca's dying husband, whose passport he used to get back to America, and Marco Lazzeri was his given alias while he was in hiding and being tutored.

He was also given a couple other fake passports later in the story with other names, which he didn't use.
2. Besides tutoring, what was Francesca's main source of income?

Answer: Tour guide

She took the job tutoring "Marco" since it was the slow season for tourists and she needed the money as her husband was dying of cancer.
3. How many children does Joel have?

Answer: 3

He has a daughter and two sons. His oldest son Neal is the only one of the three who still speaks to him.
4. What is the name of the software that Joel is hiding?

Answer: JAM

The JAM software was written by three Pakistani students. It could manipulate and neutralize the Neptune satellite.
5. What is the name of the satellite system that the three students discovered?

Answer: Neptune

Neptune was launched secretly by Red China.
6. Which country launched the satellite system that the Pakistani students discovered?

Answer: Red China

Red China launched the satellite system in the midst of purposely set forest fires to hide it.
7. In which city did Joel spend most of his time while he was learning Italian?

Answer: Bologna

This is a very easy question if you read the book. In my opinion, it seems like a very interesting city, but I'd rather visit during a warmer time of year than Joel did.
8. What was the occupation of the American whom Joel befriended in the Bar Fontana?

Answer: Professor

Joel used Rudolph's office address at the university for Neal to send him some cash and a Smart Phone.
9. What was the name of the President who pardoned Joel?

Answer: Morgan

President Arthur Morgan pardoned Joel Backman at the eleventh hour of his presidency at the insistence of CIA Director Teddy Maynard.
10. The CIA director Teddy is also featured in which other John Grisham novel?

Answer: The Brethren

Teddy Maynard was the CIA director in both stories. Hopefully you read both books or took a wild guess and got it right! If you didn't read "The Brethren", I highly recommend it.
