Apart from the (original) Bourne-trilogy this book is absolutely a favorite :-) Many storylines, interesting and at times scary scenario's and ideas are bundled in this book. Maybe the end is far-fetched or even impossible, but who am I to comment on that? If only a part of the after-WW II-world depicted is true, then, who knows, maybe the ending might also be partically be true.... I absolutely hope not, but you never know.... Recommended! This is my first Ludlum novel and as a spy novel it is not bad though I like Fredrick Forsyth better. I find that Ludlum's novels are fast paced enough but you hardly remember a name in the plot before they die on you. It is a long read for me...I could not read the book for more than an hour at a time as I was getting imagination overload and I needed a break. Some are saying his writing is formula, there is an annoying repetition in this book...someone dies with each meeting...every one of the new scenes in the book has an assassination. After a while you really don't want to read the scene because you know what is going to happen. It does has a Jason Bourne feel to it which is only one character of his (not this book) but this constant quite predictable killing got annoying, so we shall see as I read a couple more if this is common to his writing. Nice read but perhaps a little fast paced for me in places...I like plots to develop...not thrown in your face. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

American investment banker Ben Hartman arrives in Zurich for a ski holiday, the first time he's been back to Switzerland since his twin brother died there in a tragic accident four years earlier. But his arrival in Zurich triggers something far more sinister than his brother's fate. When Ben chances upon Jimmy Cavanaugh, an old college friend, Cavanaugh promptly pulls out a gun and tries to kill him. In a matter of minutes, several innocent bystanders are dead - as well as Cavanaugh - and Ben has barely managed to survive. Plunged into an unspeakable nightmare, Hartman suddenly finds himself on the run. Department of Justice field agent Anna Navarro is being stalked around the world by a relentless killer, managing to survive the killer's attacks only by a combination of luck, skill and her own quick wits. These attacks are somehow related to her current assignment: investigating the sudden - and seemingly unrelated - deaths of a number of very old men throughout the world. The only thing that connects them is a file in the CIA archives, over a half-century old, marked with the same puzzling code word: SIGMA. But someone or something is always seemingly one step ahead of her, the survivors are rapidly dwindling, and her own life is in ever increasing danger. Brought together by accident, Ben and Anna soon realize that their only hope of survival lies with each other. Together they race to uncover the diabolical secrets long hidden behind the code word, Sigma. Secrets that threaten everything they think they know about themselves, everything they believed true about their friends and families, and everything they were ever taught about history itself. For behind Sigma lies a vast deception that is finally coming to fruition and the fate and future of the world is in their hands. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
