Publisher Description

Robert Ludlum is the acknowledged master of suspense and international intrigue. For the past twenty-five years he has had an unbroken string of bestselling novels, selling hundreds of millions of copies worldwide and setting a standard that has yet to be surpassed. With The Prometheus Deception, Ludlum's first new novel in three years, he is at the very pinnacle of his craft.

Nicholas Bryson was a deep-cover operative for a secret American intelligence group called the Directorate. After a mission went wrong he was retired to a new identity as a college professor in Pennsylvania. Now, years later, he discovers that the Directorate was using him against his own country's interests. The deputy director of the CIA enlists Bryson to stop the Directorate's latest lethal maneuver and end the group for good.

"Having seen the Bourne trilogy multiple times, I pretty much knew what to expect form a Robert Ludlum novel. And what I got was good, solid entertainment: it certainly isn't great literature, it's silly and the endless action and close-calls became quite ridiculous (just how many times was our hero saved by someone shooting the bad guy on the very last second?), but it was great fun to read."

    " Hmmmm. Not really my thing. A succession of glamorous locations, double crosses, triple crosses and violence aplenty along with a curiously unexiting world takeover. Passes the time though and he ties it all up pretty neatly. "

    " Not to bad. Sometimes Ludlum's books are so technical that I don't enjoy them as much as the movie's. I like the visual part of the technical stuff, but I don't like reading about it. "

    " So far so good! I'll give it a more complete review when Brice and I are done with it. We're fighting over whose book it is (it's really the library's)--whoever is ahead "owns" it. We're neck-n-neck! I think I came from behind to get a whole one page ahead! It's MINE! "

    " This book reads like a move, not that it is in screenplay format but that it really pulls you in. It was very well written and suspenseful enough to keep me turning pages well into the wee hours of the morning. "

    " An exciting, rollercoaster of a read. I was never sure who the real good guys were until virtually the last page....and thinking back I'm not really sure I've worked it out yet. Great work from the pen of Mr. Ludlum yet again "

    " This is probably the best book I have EVER read! I stayed up until 5 am on a school night to finish it. I couldn't stop reading it. I will probably read it again, so everything will make more sense. This is one of those books everyone needs to read! "

    " Since it's Ludlum....think Bourne Identity. Change the main character's name to Jason and that's what you've got. A Bourne book. So, it was good. Fighting, spying, tech, he's a good guy, no wait, a bad guy, no he's really good, and the lot, but I was hoping for something...eh...else, I guess. "

    " A great spy story. It took about 25-30 pages to really start, but once it got going, it became difficult to stop reading. Ludlum knows how to create damn good suspense and maintain that element throughout an entire novel. Many have tried to duplicate his talent, but few can manage the feat. "

    " awful, meandering, unbelievable spy 'thriller' that should have been about 3 different stories. all put together, it was just ridiculous and as close as i was, just couldn't finish it "

    " **** Although I'm sure that there have been other books that I haven't read that could also cover the same subject matter -- This seems to me to be the book that was the basis for the TV series "Alias". Very fast paced and exciting read! "

    " This was my first Ludlum book. I've not read any spy thrillers before. This one started off with good and fast narration and kept the thrill till the end. But, I felt the climax was a bit clichéd. May be that was the only way out. Interesting read. "
