From Amazon.com

Robert Ludlum's trademark skills of intricate plotting, breakneck pacing, and high-wire drama are all on display in this gripping thriller. After his twin brother dies in a plane crash, Ben Hartman reluctantly takes his place in the investment firm started by their father, a Holocaust survivor. But then an old college buddy tries to kill Ben on a crowded Zurich street, setting off a chain of events that ultimately leads Ben into the thick of a worldwide conspiracy. Behind it is Sigma, a multinational cartel built on the rubble of World War II by industrialists and financiers bent on exploiting wartime technology and protecting their wealth from the threat of communism.

Accompanied by a beautiful American justice department agent, Ben eludes the assassins on his trail and follows Sigma's tentacles across Europe, to Brazil, Washington, and finally to a sanitarium known as the Clockworks in the Austrian Alps, where the horrifying agenda of a perverted new world order is revealed. Ludlum, who died between the writing and publishing of this book, was a master of the genre he helped popularize, and The Sigma Protocol shows him at the peak of his craft. --Jane Adams --Ce texte provient d'une édition qui n'est plus publiée ou qui est non diponible.



From Library Journal

Anna Navarro, special agent for the Justice Department, has been assigned to investigate the deaths of several eminent men, all advanced in age and all connected to a mysterious group called Sigma, founded in the last years of World War II. An accident brings her together with Ben Hartman, an American investment banker who is in Zurich investigating the death of his twin brother and finds himself the target of an assassination attempt. Who is Sigma, and why are some of its members being killed? More importantly, what grand project is in the works? Readers may find the answer to these questions simplistic: Sigma is a partnership of high-ranking statesmen and industrialists, put together not only to spirit wealth out of Germany at the end of the war but also to stop communism's spread. Sigma's goal is to make the world safe for capitalism, a corporation whose board of directors is in charge of Western history itself. Unfortunately, Ludlum's latest novel (he died in March but left outlines for more posthumous thrillers) is not one of his better efforts. Even the sparks that eventually fly between Anna and Ben seem tepid.

3.0étoiles sur 5 Mediocre Ludlum First-Read, Déc 27 2006
Par R. Hansen "rob_slick" (Hamilton, Ontario) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Sigma Protocol (Mass Market Paperback)
The Sigma Protocol was my first Robert Ludlum novel. I enjoy watching the Bourne Identity series movies and thought I might enjoy to read one of his stories.

This is a long read at just over 650 pages although the plot does move fairly quickly. I can't really say that any of the plot developments surprised me, aside from the identity of the main antagonist. And even so, I was able to guess the resolution to the story long before it unfolded on the pages.

The actual premise for the villain organization named SIGMA, is not realistic. Upon examining the purpose of this organization after I finished the book, I could only ask myself, "Why?"

I will likely read Robert Ludlum again and give him another chance, despite reading some reviews that this was some of his best work.

Par Un client
This review is from: Sigma Protocol (Mass Market Paperback)
I started reading this book when my dad brought it home a while ago from a trip to, guess where? switzerland! yeah. so i read the first few chapters and was totally hooked, but didnt get time to read the rest. now the time has arose that i can read it for my english class and i jumped at the chance to finish it. yes it is long, and a bit confusing but it is one of the best books i've read. i highly reccomend it, especially if you have free time and your mind is wandering. This is a good place to put a bored brain to work.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Great Read... But a Repeat of Aquitaine Progression?, Janv. 6 2003
Par aventurer (Palo Alto, CA USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Sigma Protocol (Mass Market Paperback)
An outstanding read that will keep you up well into the early hours if not the morning! Looking back 15 years, there is a certain similarity to The Aquitaine Progression. But that certainly doesn't mean you shouldn't read the Sigma Protocol -- it's one of Ludlum's best!

4.0étoiles sur 5 Typical, entertaining Ludlum book.
The good news: this is an honest to goodness, real live Ludlum book. Many of Ludlum's later books are "co-authored" and are not really done by Ludlum. Read more

1.0étoiles sur 5 No More Ludlum Books!
He just needed a payday to put his name on this garbage. Did anyone at St Martin's Press read this before they fired up the presses? I doubt it. A must miss!
