Synopsis

The thrilling new novel in the bestselling Covert-One series. The previous Covert-One audiobook, Robert Ludlum's The Altman Code, spent three months on the Publishers Weekly Audio Bestseller list
n the increasingly turbulent atmosphere of international politics, the once-grassroots anti-globalization movement has been slowly absorbed and taken over by the underground radical anti-technology group fronted by the mysterious figure known only as Lazarus. All attempts to infiltrate the group have failed, the intelligence agents involved have all disappeared without a trace. Now a sudden surge in the "deep chatter" detected by U.S. intelligence leads everyone to believe one thing—Lazarus is preparing to make his boldest move yet.
With Lazarus bringing deadly pressure to bear against the leading research facilities focusing on nano-technology, Lt. Col. Jon Smith—publicly a researcher for USAMRIID—is activated by Covert-One to bring his skills to bear in uncovering the truth behind the terrorists. With his friend and cohort CIA agent Randi Russell missing in the field, and with the help of former MI6 agent Peter Howell and computer whiz Marty Zellerbach, Jon Smith must find and uncover the truth about Lazarus where all others have failed. For unbeknownst to the world at large, the Lazarus Movement is only the tip of the iceberg in a scheme that will risk the lives of billions and forever change the world itself.

Terrific thriller. Although not exactly from Robert Ludlum but based on his writing this was written after his death. No doubt it comes very close to his original writing and his characters still have the same magic. Totally loved it. Now gonna go back to his original works for more fun.......more

Goodreads review by Ben on January 23, 2016

The Lazarus Vendetta is the fifth book in The Covert One Series created by Robert Ludlum and written in conjunction with other authors.

Goodreads review by Alexander on June 04, 2023

An adventure of outdated style and aesthetics by the late Robert Ludlum. Forty years ago it would have been top notch, but written (or published) after 2000 it looks as fresh as Tutankhamun's body. Agents, spies and bigoted madmen who want to make the world an orchard ... for a few, get involved in a......more

Goodreads review by Timothy on September 11, 2012

Maybe it was just where my head was at when I started this book a few months ago. It became one of those books you pick up, read a chapter or two, then set down and forget about for a while. In any event, this books turned out to have enough twists and turns to keep me interested to the end but not......more
