Reviews
"Ludlum is light years beyond his literary competition in piling plot twist upon plot twist, until the mesmerized reader is held captive...[He] dominates the field in strong, tightly plotted, adventure-drenched thrillers. Ludlum pulls out all the stops and dazzles his readers."- Chicago Tribune "Ludlum stuffs more surprises into his novels than any other six pack of thriller writers combined."- The New York Times "Reading a Ludlum novel is like watching a James Bond film."- Entertainment Weekly "Welcome to Robert Ludlum's world...fast pacing, tight plotting, international intrigue."- The Plain Dealer "Robert Ludlum is the master of gripping, fast-moving intrigue. He is unsurpassed at weaving a tapestry of stunningly diverse figures, then assembling them in a sequence so gripping that the reader's attention never wavers."- The Daily Oklahoman "Don't ever begin a Ludlum novel if you have to go to work the next day."- Chicago Sun-Times "If a Pulitzer Prize were awarded for escapist fiction, Robert Ludlum undoubtedly would have won it. Ten times over."- Mobile Register "An exciting medical-military thriller that moves at a rapid pace to its climax...an exciting new series."- Midwest Book Review "A pop hit...that should bounce right up the bestseller lists."- Kirkus Reviews "Gripping...robust writing and a breakneck pace."- Boston Herald

Synopsis
New York Times Bestselling Series For three decades, Robert Ludlum's bestselling novels have set the standard in almost every country in the world against which all other novels of international intrigue are measured. Now comes the latest volume in the series of novels featuring Robert Ludlum's Covert-One In the middle of the night, on the dark waterside docks of Shanghai, a photographer is recording cargo being secretly loaded when he's brutally killed and his camera destroyed. Shortly thereafter Covert-One director Fred Klein brings the word to the President that there's a Chinese cargo ship rumored to be carrying tons of chemicals to be used by a rogue nation to create new biological weapons. The President cannot let the ship land and risk the consequences of a new stockpile of deadly chemical weapons. Klein is ordered to get the President solid proof of what the Chinese ship is ferrying. Covert-One agent Jon Smith is sent to rendezvous in Taiwan with another agent who has acquired the ship's true manifest. But before Smith can get the document, the two agents are ambushed, the second agent is murdered, the proof is destroyed, and Smith escapes with only his life, scant clues to mystery behind the cargo ship, and a verbal message---the President's biological father is still alive, held prisoner by the Chinese for fifty years. As the Chinese cargo ship draws ever closer to its end port, Smith must race against the clock to uncover the truth about the ship and its cargo, a truth that probes the deepest secrets of the Chinese ruling party, the faction in Washington working to undermine the elected government, and the international cabal who is thrusting the world to the very brink of war., Jon Smith of Covert-One is activated when a Chinese ship rumored to be carrying bomb-making materials to Iraq threatens to set off a major shooting war.

    This book was packaged very well! Definitely arrived with no damage from shipping and in the same shape as described in the listing. There was a leftover portion of a sticker on the back, but for an anthology book, I'm not bothered by this. The book is in really great condition. Shipping was fast, and the price was good for such a book! Thank you so much!
