Publisher Description
Fearless and incorruptible, Andrew Trevayne is a self-made millionaire, former undersecretary of state, and current head of one of the nation’s most prestigious foundations. Now, at the express wish of the president, Trevayne undertakes an investigation into the “secret government”—and is soon swept up in a tidal wave of intrigue and danger. Beyond the corridors of official power he discovers a nightmare maze where billionaires mingle with Mafia dons, where sinister forces are poised to enact a chilling conspiracy, where Congress and even the presidency itself can be bought and sold, where survival hinges on a hair trigger. In this world, a man like Trevayne can easily become a pawn, an enemy—or a king. Praise for Robert Ludlum and Trevayne “A taut novel that spares no one.”—The New York Times “Brilliant . . . a story of power, intrigue, ambition, greed, corruption, and horror.”—King Features Syndicate “Don’t ever begin a Ludlum novel if you have work the next day.”—Chicago Tribune “A fascinating, meaty spine tingler.”—Library Journal

"Unusual to read a book where they spend a great deal of time looking for pay phones instead of hauling out the Mobile phone. During a time when it was still politically correct to smoke in other peoples offices and houses. Well it was written in 1973"
— Raymond (4 out of 5 stars)
Trevayne Listener Reviews

" book is falling apart and I lost interest besides, so I quit about a third way thru. "
— Jeffrey, 1/17/2014 -
" Ludlum didn't disappoint with this one. Apparently he wrote it shortly after watergate. The story and characters were well written. I read well into the night several times with this one. I never wanted to put it down. "
— Stephen, 1/11/2014 -
" Trevayne is hired by the government to head up a committee looking into government contracts, especially military contracts. Many of the powers-to-be want to see him fail in this endeavor, especially those most closely involved in questionable practices. "

" Good, very likable guy. He is a little to perceptive and sees all tricks against him too early "
— Craig, 1/4/2014 -
" Hated it so much a didn't bother to finish. And I have been on a mission to read EVERY Ludlum novel. Every other sentence was an exclamation. Political thriller that wasn't thrilling. "
— David, 12/18/2013 -
" Lame action, painful dialog. Loser. "
— Bill, 11/24/2013 -
" I really liked this book until I got to the end. I thought it was interesting what an author could say when he got really mad. "
— Becky, 11/19/2013 -
" I just love Ludlum books. I'm trying to slow down reading them because he's not around anymore and once I'm done, I'm honestly done. "
— Alison, 11/2/2013 -
" Didn't finish the book...read the first 10 pages and stopped reading it. Waste of money and time ! "
— Rohit, 10/30/2013 -
" Really good effort from Ludlum when he was at the top of his game. It kind of loses steam in the last 100 pages trying to find the best way to conclude but it still manages to do so gracefully. Another win from the master. "
— Jake, 10/18/2013 -
" Great book for those who love political , and international intrigue. "
— Tom, 8/16/2013 -
" Trevayne goes after corruption and deceit in government and ends up as President of the United States. I really enjoyed this profile of a powerful but honest and principled man. I think this is my favorite Ludlum. "
— Rae, 7/18/2013 -
" A good read even for today. Interesting political intrigue. Liked it better than Bourne Supremacy. "
— Nozz, 7/8/2013 -
" Entertaining. Haven't read a veg out book for awhile. It was a good diversion. "
— Charlie, 7/5/2013 -
" It's well written but, I just don't enjoy political intrigue. "

" Het trevayne verraad "
— Anna, 3/19/2013 -
" All the excitement that Ludlum is known for supplying! "
— Marilyn, 2/10/2013 -
" Unrealistic/entertaining/gets old if you don't make it a quickie "
— Natalie, 1/5/2013 -
" Another good mystery with lots happening in the government that's supposed to be hush hush and probably should be! "
— Kim, 11/23/2012 -
" Not Ludlum's best book, but it illustrates how "other" powers can challenge the American Presidency. "
— Jamie, 10/20/2012
