Product Description

From the Publisher

The Fourth Reich is waiting to be born. The only man who can stop it is about to sign its birth certificate. In 1945 the children of the Third Reich were secretly hidden all over the world-to be concealed until the 1970's, when they would come of age. Then the most elaborate plans and $780 million in a Swiss bank would be waiting. There would even be an unsuspecting outsider to set the plan into action. that outsider is Noel Holcroft, the American son of a high-ranking Nazi. He's just been shown an amazing document, the Holcroft Covenant. If he signs, it will be his own death warrant and a devastating threat to the security of the world.

"Pleases and seduces... Mr. Ludlum stuffs more surprises into his novels than any other six-pack of thriller writers combined... I sprained my wrist turning his pages and didn't notice until an hour later."--John Leonard, The New York Times --This text refers to the Mass Market Paperback edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars Among Ludlums best., Aug 5 2003
By Godly Gadfly (Canada) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: The Holcroft Covenant (Mass Market Paperback)
Named after its protagonist Noel Holcroft, "The Holcroft Covenant" is easily among Ludlum's top novels. Holcroft is an American son of a high-ranking Nazi, who is shown the surprising document called "The Holcroft Covenant", to which he is the key. Under its stipulations which Noel must implement, second generation Jews are to receive the immense sum of $780 million from three high ranking and apparently repentant Germans including Noel's father, as an expression of regret for the atrocities of the Second World War. But this covenant is not quite what it seems, and soon Noel finds himself in the middle of the hostile operations of several competing groups: The Odessa - a pro-Nazi group; The Rache - a radical Jewish group aimed at taking revenge against the Germans; the Nachrichtendienst - another Jewish group with different aims; and the mysterious Wolfsschanznze - an old alliance of Germans which for some reason seems to be supporting Holcroft. And who is unleashing the final stage of the covert "Operation Sonnenkinder", which seeks to establish the Fourth Reich by channelling these funds to Nazi children which were hidden throughout the world at the end of the war? The action is somewhat less than Ludlum's staple, but the overdose of suspense and intrigue more than makes up for it! Featuring the fast-paced action of Ludlum's other novels, the suspense is second to none, with constant twists and turns as Noel struggles to survive and to unravel the twisted strands of events going on around him. Expect plenty of surprises! A terrific Ludlum read! -GODLY GADFLY

1.0 out of 5 stars Weak, very weak, Jul 24 2003
By "maurice9" (Dallas,TX) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Holcroft Covenant (Mass Market Paperback)
Ludlum's book is not believable. The characters are flat and grotesque. Stereotypes abound. The plot is muddled. What a waste of reader's time!

If you like espionage, pick up Le Carre.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful, Dec 9 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: The Holcroft Covenant (Mass Market Paperback)
Ludlum is my guilty pleasure that I hate to admit to. His work is not great literature, but wonderful fun vacation reading. Yes, the characters lack deep inner lives, but the action is non-stop and the plots often inovative.

With this work, Ludlum offers us up one of his favorite villians, Nazis, here trying to establish the Fourth Reich. Our protaganist goes through twists and turns while romping around the world, trying to understand the sinister web in which he has fallen. He does not know who to trust and neither do we. All we know is that the stakes are unimaginable.

Great Fun!
