Robert Ludlum; James Cobb Robert Ludlum's (TM) The Arctic Event (Covert-One)
Vision 2008 0446618772 / 9780446618779 Mass Market Paperback Very Good
0446618772 Review "Packed with all the classic Ludlum elements...the intricately engineered plot thunders forward at breakneck pace. Bottom Line: Perfectly executed." (People (on the Altman Code) ) "Don't ever begin a Ludlum novel if you have to go to work the next day." (Chicago Sun-Times ) "Welcome to Robert Ludlum's world...fast pacing, tight plotting, international intrigue." (Cleveland Plain Dealer ) Product Description On a remote island in the Canadian Arctic, researchers discover the wreckage of a mysterious World War II-era aircraft, a discovery that forces the Russian Federation into a shocking admission. The unmarked plane is a Soviet strategic bomber that disappeared with its crew more than fifty years ago while carrying two metric tons of weaponized anthrax.
Desperate to prevent a political and diplomatic firestorm, the U.S. president dispatches a Covert-One team led by Lieutenant Colonel Jon Smith to the crash site. But others have reached the frigid, windswept island first, including an international arms dealer and his crew of vicious mercenaries. As for the Russians, they are lying: a second, even deadlier, secret rests within the hulk of the lost bomber, a secret the Russians are willing to kill to protect. Trapped in a polar wilderness, Smith and his team find themselves fighting a savage war on two fronts--against an enemy they can see and another hiding within their own ranks.

Robert Ludlum; Patrick Larkin Robert Ludlum's The Moscow Vector: A Covert-One Novel
St. Martin's Paperbacks 2006 0312990715 / 9780312990718 MM Very Good
0312990715 From Publishers Weekly One might think that time would have taken its toll on the crusty, disgruntled Soviet dinosaurs who want to return Russia to its Communist glory days, but evidently not. Larkin, helming Ludlum's Covert One series, has dreamed up a new bunch of hard-liners, armed with HYDRA, a designer poison that singles out and kills victims based on DNA. With HYDRA having dispatched numerous U.S. and allied intelligence agents, Russian President Viktor Dudarev is poised to launch Operation ZHUKOV, a takeover strike against Kazakhstan, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Armenia and half of Ukraine. Leading a covert investigation of HYDRA is series regular Lt. Col. Jonathan Smith, U.S. Army molecular biologist and chief operative of supersecret spy agency Covert One. There's nothing particularly new--HYDRA is an unwieldy weapon (it must be tailor-made for each victim), and super-sleuth Jon spends far too much time ferreting out information that readers have known for hundreds of pages. The threat of a Russian takeover of lost territory may not raise the temperature high enough, and various subplots, such as an attempted assassination of the U.S. president, don't amount to much. There are plenty of excellent shoot-outs, but Larkin's last outing, The Lazarus Vendetta, was far more cutting edge. (On sale Aug. 1) Copyright ? Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. --This text refers to the Paperback edition. From Booklist Although Larkin is the actual author of this novel, "Robert Ludlum" novels now include 26 books, the latter ones, of course, written after his death but in the strong tradition of the novels he wrote himself. This new one falls in the Covert-One Novel series, now numbering six; Larkin also wrote The Lazarus Vendetta (2004), also part of this series. Moscow is the setting, and Larkin occasionally uses Russian expressions to remind readers of the locale. But like other tales of espionage, the action spans the globe, here including Prague; several cities in the Ukraine; other Russian cities; Washington, D.C.; Baghdad; Dresden; and Berlin. The plot concerns a biological weapon called HYDRA, "the ultimate, precision-guided silent killer." Months of preparation have gone into selecting targets for the first HYDRA variants and then finding ways to deliver them undetected to the chosen victims. Russia's aim is to kill America's most competent intelligence analysts. There's plenty of action here and some suspense, but don't the good guys always prevail in the end? George Cohen Copyright ?

Robert Ludlum; Gayle Lynds Robert Ludlum's The Paris Option: A Covert-One Novel
St. Martin's Griffin 0312289871 / 9780312289874 PAPERBACK Very Good
0312289871 ISBN: 0312289871 Trade Paperback, 425 pages. VG. A Very Nice Copy! St. Martin's Griffin, 2002. Thriller. Put the Paris Option on your summer reading list, April 6, 2003 Reviewer: john purcell "johneric99" (Purcellville, VA USA) - The Paris Option is a solid action thriller, with the Covert-One team, led in the field by multi-talented Colonel John Smith (seen here as doctor, researcher, diplomat, agent, failed romantic, and loyal friend). Smith teams up with his long-time CIA and MI6 colleagues and a childhood friend / electronics genius. The team moves quickly and easily from US to Europe and Northern Africa in search of terrorists who are only a front for other terrorists who are only a front for the real evil-doers. This thing has plot twists within other enigmatic plot twists. For several chapters, we dont even know which of the protangonists are dead or alive. On the downside, the Covert-One team and their camp-followers have nearly unbelievable extra-ordinary moments, seemingly ripped from the Superman cartoons. Why can't three poorly armed agents battle an army of trained terrorists if they have a French actress also on their side? Why can't John Smith stowaway on a terrorist boat for several days with no weapons, occasionally killing a few meddlesome terrorists without being noticed? This is a good read for the beach. Enjoy it, but don't take it too seriously. The idea that our European allies would unite to form a second superpower and regard the US as an enemy seemed impossible until the most recent outbreak of lunacy at the United Nations.

Robert Ludlum; Gayle Lynds Robert Ludlum's The Paris Option: A Covert-One Novel (Covert-One)
Macmillan Audio 1559277106 / 9781559277105 Audiobook CASSETTE Very Good
1559277106 From Publishers Weekly After a 30-year career that engendered dozens of bestselling novels of international intrigue, Ludlum died in the spring of 2001, just before publication of The Cassandra Compact, the second title in the Covert-One biotech series. This third Covert-One opus co-written with spy novelist Gayle Lynds (Mosaic), who also worked on the first Covert-One epic, The Hades Factor reprises the over-the-top, almost parodic tone of its predecessors with more antics from undercover agent army Lt. Col. Jonathan Smith, M.D. A horrific explosion destroys the Paris lab of computer genius Emile Chambord on the eve of his breakthrough in the development of a revolutionary molecular DNA computer that has the ability to control virtually all the world's computerized operations. Overnight, military satellites, international data banks and worldwide communications threaten to crash. Faced with the enormity of this malevolent power play, Dr. Jon Smith sets out to find the perpetrators. Arriving in Paris just as Chambord's daughter, Th?r?se, is being abducted, Smith trails the terrorists to Toledo, Spain. Just when this thrilling setup promises a return to vintage Ludlum, Smith's corny pals, CIA spook Randi Russell and British MI6 spy Peter Howell, pop up and they all go bumbling across Europe to avert a nuclear holocaust. Gainsaying the old saw, "You can't take it with you," Ludlum bequeaths yet another ghostly burlesque of his fabled plotting talents. Copyright 2002 Cahners Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. From AudioFile Jon Smith, agent for the ultra-secret Covert One, is called in yet again to unravel the identity of the bombers of the Louis Pasteur Institute, where a DNA computer has been destroyed, along with its inventor, Emile Chambord, and Jon's friend, Marty Zellerbach. Many plot twists ensue as Smith teams up with CIA Agent Randy Russell and MI6 operative Peter Howell. Paul Michael calmly begins this tale of intrigue and ratchets up the tension in each succeeding chapter. Michael follows each character from continent to continent, operation by operation, ably switching accents and phrasing to suit the myriad characters Ludlum is famous for. THE PARIS OPTION pits European and American values against those of Islamist extremists in a startling spy novel.

Robert Ludlum Scorpio Illusion, The
Bantam 1993 0553094416 / 9780553094411 Hardcover Very Good
0553094416 From Publishers Weekly If you took the bite and humor out of a Richard Condon novel, the result would be very like Ludlum's ( The Road to Omaha ) 18th book. As a child, beautiful Amaya Aquirre, witnessed the brutal murder of her Basque parents, after which she adopted the name of their killer, Bajaratt; the motto, Muerte a toda autoridad (death rules over everything); and the profession of mercenary terrorist. When her husband, a Palestinian terrorist, is killed, Bajaratt sends a signal to an underground organization named the Scorpios, to take "the heads of the four great beasts," i.e., the leaders of France, England, Israel and the United States. A mistress of disguise, this "pathological genius" takes the plum assignment of killing the U.S. president. Cutting a bloody swath through the Caribbean, Florida and Washington, she finally wangles a private meeting with him. But British and French Intelligence have hired her nemesis and one-time lover, retired American Naval Intelligence officer Tye Hawthorne, to follow her bloodsoaked trail and, inevitably, nail her. Instead of conveying tension, the book has the elements of a soap opera: lots of shouting, too much psychobabble, some grief therapy and plenty of misunderstandings. Despite the huge body count, as a thriller it falls flat. Major ad/promo; author tour. Copyright 1993 Reed Business Information, Inc. From Library Journal Ludlum fans who perhaps were frustrated by the author's last three novels (e.g., The Gemini Contenders , Audio Reviews, LJ 4/1/93) have a genuine treat in store with this one. The master of international intrigue is back, make no mistake about it. The producer offers an excellent abridgment, and the story is enhanced with music and read expertly by Robert Lansing. This is a riveting, fast-moving thriller full of violence, sex, thrills, and electronic wizardry--all the things one imagines for today's terrorists and intelligence agents. The story concerns Amayra Bajaratt, a beautiful terrorist, whose goal is nothing less than death for the heads of state of England, France, Israel, and the United States. Enter Tyrrell Hawthorne, ex-naval intelligence operative recruited by British military intelligence to stop "Little Girl Blood." Recommended for all popular adult collections. - Cliff Glaviano, Bowling Green State Univ. Libs., Ohio Copyright 1994 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Robert Ludlum The Ambler Warning
St. Martin's Paperbacks 20061001 0312990693 / 9780312990695 MM Very Good
0312990693 From Publishers Weekly For some bestselling authors, death is no impediment to an enduring career. But the latest Ludlum (d. 2001) novel, penned by an unnamed hired hand, reveals the problems inherent in such an arrangement: neither sufficiently like Ludlum's originals nor compellingly distinctive, it inhabits a kind of thriller purgatory to which only the most dedicated Ludlumite will be eager to venture. After a two-decade career as a clandestine operative, Hal Ambler is drugged and warehoused in the Parrish Island Psychiatric Facility, a government nuthouse for spies. A sympathetic nurse aids his escape, and soon Ambler is on the run, trying to figure out who he is and, more importantly, who he was. There are a few interesting characters--particularly CIA accountant Clayton Caston, a man who knows little about feelings but who can tease a mountain of information out of a spy's expense account--but the villains are mostly invisible and everybody else ends up dead before you really get to know them. Just because a writer can copy what was once a successful style does not automatically assure his publisher a successful book. (Oct. 25) Copyright ? Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition. From Booklist This is Ludlum's twenty-sixth, a remarkable feat given that he is deceased. The locale is a barrier island six miles off the coast of Virginia and officially part of the National Wildlife Refuge System. It's really the site of a psychiatric facility for patients who possess highly classified information. At Parrish Island, "potential security risks could be carefully managed and the patients are identified by number, never by name." One of them is Hal Ambler, who had been a clandestine operative for nearly two decades. He doesn't know why he's being held by his own government. He also doesn't know how long he has been confined, but realizes he must escape. There's probably no doubt in readers' minds--right from the start--of the outcome, but they will be delighted to stick around to the end. Given the late author's still-viable name recognition, this novel is bound to be popular; and it could even be used as a good way for librarians to introduce unfamiliar readers to his works George Cohen Copyright ?
