Review
Even after death, Robert Ludlum remains the master of the international spy caper, and whether this posthumously published new thriller was cobbled together by a real ghost or already completed before Ludlum died doesn't matter. All the trademarked Ludlum gifts of plotting, pacing, and suspense are on full display in this engrossing mystery about a former covert operative turned private security executive who's stranded, abandoned, and marked for murder by his old colleagues when he manages to survive an unsurvivable mission. Rescuing renowned philanthropist and statesman-without-portfolio Peter Novak from the clutches of the terrorist who murdered his wife and unborn child, Paul Janson watches, unbelieving, as the plane carrying Novak back to freedom explodes before his eyes. Soon after the first post-mission attempt on his life, Janson begins to put the pieces of the puzzle together, but Ludlum keeps the reader from seeing it whole until the last thrilling chapter. A page-turner that doesn't let up, this one will leave Ludlum's fans hoping there are more unpublished manuscripts where this one came from, a not unlikely possibility. --Jane Adams

Condition: Bueno. : Paul Janson, un agente retirado, es ahora un especialista en seguridad muy solicitado y extremadamente selectivo. El juego de espías le costó todo lo que era más importante para él y se necesitaría mucho para atraerlo de vuelta. Desafortunadamente, la única persona a quien Janson le debe una deuda personal tan grande que podría exigirle cualquier cosa a Janson está cobrando su marcador. Peter Novak, el legendario inmigrante húngaro y jefe de la Fundación Liberty, un hombre inmensamente rico que usa su riqueza para reconstruir y fomentar el crecimiento de los ideales democráticos en los lugares más devastados y devastados por la guerra del mundo, ha sido secuestrado y se enfrenta a la ejecución a manos de extremistas terroristas. Depende de Janson rescatarlo antes de que Novak sea asesinado. Janson inmediatamente reúne a un equipo de primera y logra la tarea casi imposible de sacar a Novak, pero algo sale horriblemente mal, algo que indica que su operación ha sido comprometida desde el principio, y solo el propio Janson sobrevive. Ahora, los principales servicios de inteligencia piensan que Janson fue responsable de la muerte de Novak y están enviando a sus mejores agentes tras él. Si Janson quiere sobrevivir y vengar el asesinato de Novak, debe desentrañar la retorcida verdad que se esconde tras la leyenda que es y fue Peter Novak. Porque parece que Novak está de alguna manera, inexplicablemente, todavía vivo y hablando públicamente. Y algo serio está a punto de suceder, algo que amenaza con cambiar el curso de la historia misma.
