Ludlum, Robert Apocalypse Watch
Bantam Books, Incorporated 1996 0-553-56957-0 / 9780553569575 Mass Market Paperback
ABOUT THE BOOK Apocalypse Watch ANNOTATION A premier name in thrillers for nearly a quarter of a century returns with a supercharged novel of the Brotherhood of the Watch, true inheritors of Hitler's Third Reich. While he's working covertly to break open a neo-Nazi organization, a CIA operative's cover is blown, but he manages to escape with a list of the group's secret supporters--high-ranking officials in the U.S. and its allies. FROM THE PUBLISHER Deep in the Hausruck Mountains of Austria, there is a remote hideaway - the fortresslike nerve center of an ominous movement, the Brotherhood of the Watch. American agent Harry Latham has penetrated the movement, a neo-Nazi organization that was born in the days after the Third Reich's defeat and whose deadly tentacles have spread to the United States and beyond. Now, after three years in deep cover, and on the eve of his most spectacular success, Harry Latham has disappeared. Drew Latham, Special Officer for Consular Operations in Paris, is frantic to discover his older brother's fate. But when he receives the sudden good news that Harry has surfaced, gut-twisting doubts arise. Has Harry's cover been blown? And if so, why has the Brotherhood of the Watch let him live? For Harry Latham has emerged with an explosive list: the secret supporters of the movement, among them some of the highest-ranking officials in the United States and its allies, names synonymous with honorable service to their nations. It is a document that could topple governments - but is the list legitimate? Can Drew Latham trust his own brother? FROM THE CRITICS Publishers Weekly Ludlum's latest suspense tale of international intrigue spent 12 weeks on PW's bestseller list. (May) Library Journal Many were concerned that after the reunification of Germany, Nazism would resurface. Ludlum (The Scorpio Illusion, Audio Reviews, LJ 9/1/93) brings this fear to bear in a chilling story about the Fourth Reich. Neo-Nazis have infiltrated many key world government positions in an attempt to bring the Fourth Reich to prominence. The only person capable of stopping it is CIA operative Drew Latham. After Drew's brother Harry infiltrates a Brdershaft camp, he escapes with a list of secret supporters of the Nazi's agenda-men and women of high rank in the United States and other Allied countries. Harry's escape is not without problems, though. The Germans are aware that Harry is an impostor, so the reliability of the list is unknown. Drew enlists the help of Karin de Vries, a NATO analyst and longtime friend of Harry's, to determine the validity of the list and to stop the Nazis' march to prominence. The Germans, anxious to stop Latham, are seemingly at every corner and in every alley, making Latham and de Vries frequent targets. This powerful, well-written novel touches on such current issues as hate, ethnic cleansing, and racism. Classic Ludlum in fine form, ably read by Edward Herrmann. Demand should be high for this title. Recommended for adult fiction collections.-David A. Scott, Southwestern Oklahoma State Univ., Weatherford BookList - Mary Frances Wilkens Remember the hype about how Nazism would resurface with a vengeance once Germany reunified? Ludlum gives this paranoid nightmare amazing life in another fascinating thriller. Paris has been infiltrated by neo-Nazis, and the only American with the proper balance of physical power, street smarts, and diplomacy to aid the Duxieme Bureau, a secret French intelligence agency, is Drew Latham. Perhaps the only other qualified CIA operative for this assignment is Drew's brother, Harry. But Harry is already concentrating on breaking apart the so-called Fourth Reich; after assuming deep cover in a "Bruderschaft" camp, Harry escapes with a most valuable piece of information--a list of secret supporters of the neo-Nazis' agenda--men and women of high rank from the U.S., France, and other allied nations. His escape is not perfect, though, for the Germans knew all along that he was an impostor, so no one knows how much of the information retrieved is reliable.

Ludlum, Robert Bourne Ultimatum
New York The Random House Publishing Group 0-394-58408-2 / 9780394584089 First Edition Hardcover Good+ Good++
The world's two deadliest spies in the ultimate showdown. At a small-town carnival two men, each mysteriously summoned by telegram, witness a bizarre killing. The telegrams are signed Jason Bourne. Only they know Bourne's true identity and understand the telegram is really a message from Bourne's mortal enemy, Carlos, known also as the Jackal, the world's deadliest and most elusive terrorist. And furthermore, they know that the Jackal wants: a final confrontation with Bourne. Now David Webb, professor of Oriental studies, husband, and father, must do what he hoped he would never have to do again - assume the terrible identity of Jason Bourne. His plan is simple: to infiltrate the politically and economically Medusan group and use himself as bait to lure the cunning Jackal into a deadly trap - a trap from which only one of them will escape. Publisher's Weekly The literary faults and stylistic excesses that characterized The Icarus Agenda , The Gemini Contenders and other of Ludlum's works are present in his latest mammoth thriller, but fans will nonetheless cheer the return of his most popular character, David Webb, aka Jason Bourne, the assassin who never was. When the international terrorist known as Carlos the Jackal penetrates his civilian identity, Webb must again assume the Bourne persona to protect his wife and small children. In their renewed struggle, the two master assassins uncover the revived existence of Medusa, the sinister alliance that originally led to the establishment of the Bourne identity. In action that moves from the U.S. to Montserrat to Paris before concluding in Moscow, Bourne and his allies prove incredibly inept, barely escaping the Jackal's traps and failing in their repeated attempts to ambush him. The Ludlum trademarks are present: improbable bloodbaths, repetitive action, stilted and off-the-point conversations and--most annoying--the use of italicized words or entire paragraphs to simulate passion. This is formula writing that delivers even less than its meager promise. (Mar.)
