Publisher Description

American agent Harry Latham has penetrated the fortresslike mountain hideaway of the Brotherhood of the Watch, a neo-Nazi organization that was born in the days after the fall of the Third Reich. But on the eve of his most spectacular success, after three years in deep cover, Harry disappears.   Drew Latham, Special Officer for Consular Operations in Paris, is frantic to discover his older brother’s fate. But when Drew receives the good news that Harry has surfaced, gut-twisting doubts arise. For Harry has emerged with an explosive document: a list of secret supporters of the Brotherhood, among them high-ranking officials of the United States and its allies. But is it legitimate? The search for the truth about Harry and the growing Nazi threat will plunge Drew into a labyrinth of deceit and death. And whoever makes it out alive will hold the fate of the free world in his hands.   Praise for Robert Ludlum and The Apocalypse Watch   “A powerful, exploding novel . . . vintage Ludlum in fine form.”Booklist   “If a Pulitzer Prize were awarded for escapist fiction, Robert Ludlum undoubtedly would have won it. Ten times over.”Mobile Register   “Bloody great fun.”Kirkus Reviews

"Great thriller - fast paced, plenty of action, and an interesting (if sometimes slightly unbelievable) plot. Has one of the most interesting "climaxes" I've ever read in a novel. I've always been a Ludlum fan, and this read does nothing to change that!"

    " Whoever told me I should read Robert Ludlum (because of my fondness for John Le Carre) was, well, mistaken. This book was terrible -- for so many reasons. The writing was terrible, the plot was not even remotely plausible,the characters were not even worthy of being called characters... sigh. "

    " It's an old Ludlum, but somehow I missed it the first time. Funny how much of it still resonates almost 10 years after it was published. "

    " Ludlum's earlier stuff is much, much better. talk about stilted, mellow-dramatic dialog. it got better towards the middle, but man, you had to fight through the first few hours just to get there. "

    " Good, not great. A little predictable and the constant cliffhangers in every chapter get a little tedious. "

    " Fighting the rise of the Fourth Reich, dead people who aren't dead, spies and many a classic Ludlum plot twist, even if some of them are a tad obvious, make The Apocalypse Watch an enjoyable read. However, at 790 pages, it is quite a hefty read. "
