Product Details


Product Description

Review

"Packed with all the classic Ludlum elements...the intricately engineered plot thunders forward at breakneck pace. Bottom Line: Perfectly executed." (People (on the Altman Code) )

"Don't ever begin a Ludlum novel if you have to go to work the next day." (Chicago Sun-Times )

"Welcome to Robert Ludlum's world...fast pacing, tight plotting, international intrigue." (Cleveland Plain Dealer )


Product Description

On a remote island in the Canadian Arctic, researchers discover the wreckage of a mysterious World War II-era aircraft, a discovery that forces the Russian Federation into a shocking admission. The unmarked plane is a Soviet strategic bomber that disappeared with its crew more than fifty years ago while carrying two metric tons of weaponized anthrax.


Desperate to prevent a political and diplomatic firestorm, the U.S. president dispatches a Covert-One team led by Lieutenant Colonel Jon Smith to the crash site. But others have reached the frigid, windswept island first, including an international arms dealer and his crew of vicious mercenaries. As for the Russians, they are lying: a second, even deadlier, secret rests within the hulk of the lost bomber, a secret the Russians are willing to kill to protect. Trapped in a polar wilderness, Smith and his team find themselves fighting a savage war on two fronts--against an enemy they can see and another hiding within their own ranks.

4.0 out of 5 stars Tightly Wrapped Thriller, Dec 3 2008
An academic institution discovers a crashed bomber in the ice on Wednesday Island in the arctic. An investigation uncovers some startling revelations. The plane belongs to the Russians and carries a payload of 2000 lbs. of a biological agent that has the potential to wipe out the equivalent of the east coast of the United States. A team is assembled from the "club." There is Jon Smith MD, Randi Russell, a pilot and younger sister of Dr. Sophia Russell-Dr. Smith's deceased fiancee, Professor Valentina Metrace,an attractive weapons expert with a hidden past and Major Gregori Smyslov.
This team as well as teams of hostiles converge on the remote arctic island in competition for the powerful payload. The Russians have a secret to hide on the plane, and this secret adds to the dangers and suspense.
The book is well written and in a style suitable to a military thriller. There is plenty of action to carry the plot along and the interpersonal relationships of the team provide extra intrigue and interest. The author has a good command of military technology such as guns and planes, and this adds to the feeling of authenticity.
The one drawback concerns a lack of plausibility in one area. For such a powerful payload on this downed plane in the Arctic, it seems very unlikely to me that the government would limit itself to just the four people mentioned to secure it. The government has vastly greater resources. If the greater response were given, however, much of the plot and suspense would crumble. As long as one goes along with this premise of just four people then the book delivers suspense, intrigue and the interplay of some interesting personalities.The Griffon Trilogy: Part I
