Fiction. Literature. Thriller. HTML:In Geneva, American lawyer Joel Converse meets a man he hasn’t seen in twenty years, a covert operative who dies violently at his feet, whispering words that hand Converse a staggering legacy of death: “The generals . . . they’re back . . . Aquitaine!” Suddenly Converse is running for his life, alone with the world’s most shattering secret. Pursued by anonymous executioners to the dark corners of Europe, he is forced to play a game of survival by blood rules he thought he’d long left behind. One by one, he traces each thread of a lethal progression to the heart of every major government, a network of coordinated global violence that no one believes possible—no one but Converse and the woman he once loved and lost, the only two people on earth who can wrest the world from the iron grasp of Aquitaine. Praise for Robert Ludlum and The Aquitaine Progression “You won’t be able to put it down. (Don’t ever begin a Ludlum novel if you have to go to work the next day).”—Chicago Sun-Times “Ludlum at his best.”—Publishers Weekly.… (more)

As the story opens, Joel is in Geneva,
Robert Ludlum, always a master of suspense, intrigue and espionage, once again delivers a page-turning read. Full of plot twists and turns, this book kept me up late at night because I just couldn’t stop reading. The characters are well-developed and the plot is fantastic. Some of the dialogue seemed a little implausible, but I credit that to the fact that the book was written over 25 years ago and language has changed a bit since then. I don’t believe that this detracts at all from the story.
The Aquitaine Progression is a swift moving storyline that never lags or loses steam, this book is a must-read for fans of the suspense/thriller genre and of course, for any Ludlum fan.
