Description

American agent Harry Latham has penetrated the fortresslike mountain hideaway of the Brotherhood of the Watch, a neo-Nazi organization that was born in the days after the fall of the Third Reich. But on the eve of his most spectacular success, after three years in deep cover, Harry disappears. Drew Latham, Special Officer for Consular Operations in Paris, is frantic to discover his older brother's fate. But when Drew receives the good news that Harry has surfaced, gut-twisting doubts arise. For Harry has emerged with an explosive document: a list of secret supporters of the Brotherhood, among them high-ranking officials of the United States and its allies. But is it legitimate? The search for the truth about Harry and the growing Nazi threat will plunge Drew into a labyrinth of deceit and death. And whoever makes it out alive will hold the fate of the free world in his hands. Praise for Robert Ludlum and "The Apocalypse Watch"" " "A powerful, exploding novel . . . vintage Ludlum in fine form."--"Booklist" "If a Pulitzer Prize were awarded for escapist fiction, Robert Ludlam undoubtedly would have won it. Ten times over."--"Mobile Register"" " "Bloody great fun."--"Kirkus Reviews"… (more)

Typical Ludlum. Many turns and twists and characters. There is a neo-Nazi plot to take over the world. One man can stop this. Will he be able to?
LibraryThing member sjgoins
When one brother is killed, the other assumes his identity and tries to find out whether the information the brother brought out of a neo-Nazi camp is true and what that group is planning. This is not quite the same caliber as other Ludlum books. There is action, but the conversations are stilted

and some relationships seem forced and the characters stereotypes.

Good read, but it gets a bit juvenile at times. Not quite up to Ludlum's previous books.
LibraryThing member Huba.Library
Another well crafted Ludlum story.
