Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Larkin (The Tribune) picks up the reins for the fifth entry in the Ludlum-spawned Covert-One biotech series (The Altman Code; etc.), bringing to the task a solid intelligence, some really scary nanotechnology and a writing style that sometimes lapses into cliché but always gets the job done. FBI Deputy Assistant Director Kit Pierson and her CIA counterpart, Hal Burke, are secretly working on an operation to destroy the Lazarus Movement, an environmental group run amok. Once a legitimate organization, the Lazarus Movement has been taken over by an evil scientist whose goal is—you guessed it—world domination. Thrust into the middle of this deadly struggle is series hero Lt. Col. Jon Smith, M.D., a scientist and operative for Covert-One, a super top-secret intelligence unit. When the Lazarus Movement's attack on a biotech lab releases a deadly brew of nanophages, microscopic killer devices that turn those unlucky enough to inhale them into piles of "reddish liquid sludge," some start to think that the movement's diabolical leader envisions a vastly depopulated world that he can redesign into an environmental paradise. The action careens from continent to continent, with the bad guys always a few steps ahead of the heroes. Eventually, everyone ends up on an island in the Azores, where, after a deadly firefight and some last-minute reversals, the inevitable conclusion arrives. Hand-to-hand action, intriguing science and plot speed will keep most techno-thriller readers nailed to their seats.

From AudioFile

Scott Brick narrates a roller-coaster ride of epic proportions in the fifth installment of the Covert One series. This time, Lieutenant Colonel Jon Smith confronts the Lazarus Movement, once altruistic, now motivated by a greedy desire for power. A web of intrigue surrounds the mysterious head of the movement and the futuristic bio-weapon known as "nanophages" (which liquefy humans from the inside out when inhaled). Brick identifies characters through vocal mannerisms, tone, and timbre, matching voice to mood. Vivid descriptions of death throes are not for the squeamish. Cunningly crafted and well narrated, this action-adventure takes off from recent genetic research.

1.0 out of 5 stars Definitely Not Ludlum Quality, April 28 2007

By	Ann Mcelhinney "Ann McElhinney" (Delaware) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Lazarus Vendetta (Paperback)

I have been trying to read this book for over a year. Truly, this has been the most disappointing book I have purchased in over 10 years. Robert Ludlum books were those I read when I had hours to devote to quiet and solitude because once started, the book was difficult, if not impossible, to put down. The Lazarus Vendetta, on the other hand, is difficult to pick up again. I have purchased and read novel after novel and have only gone back to this book when I had nothing new to read. I find myself reading and re-reading paragraphs because my mind has wondered and I have no comprehension what I just read.

The book is a huge disappointment and I would recommend that you go back and read something Ludlum, himself, actually wrote. I never get tired of re-reading his books. I wish the publisher would stop hiring writers that would probably fare better in another genre. Save your money and buy something else.

1.0 out of 5 stars A Disappointment for true Robert Ludlum fans!, April 20 2005

By A Customer

This review is from: The Lazarus Vendetta (Paperback)

Since the death of Robert Ludlum the trustees of his estate have tried to hire people that reflect his style and legeacy to write under his name.
Patrick Larkin's book would likely stand better on his own then under Ludlum's Covert One Series.
At best it is a poor science fiction work and at worse it is a book that can easily be put down.
True fans of Ludlum's skills will remember that his books could never be put down - the intrigue, suspense and esponiage moved you at a great rate thru excellent story lines.
So far those writing under his name have not caught the excitement and fast moving pace that his plots were famous for.
This book especially misses the mark and was a disappointing read.
As a "compulsive fan" of each and every book that Ludlum has written I can only hope that the search for writers with a greater, realistic vision will write under his name and that others will publish works under their own names.
I think that the saddest thing would be for readers of this excellent author to slowly "fade away" and no longer look forward to publishing under his name.
