false 31260 24 Robert Ludlum's trademark skills of intricate plotting, breakneck pacing, and high-wire drama are all on display in this gripping thriller. After his twin brother dies in a plane crash, Ben Hartman reluctantly takes his place in the investment firm started by their father, a Holocaust survivor. But then an old college buddy tries to kill Ben on a crowded Zurich street, setting off a chain of events that ultimately leads Ben into the thick of a worldwide conspiracy. Behind it is Sigma, a multinational cartel built on the rubble of World War II by industrialists and financiers bent on exploiting wartime technology and protecting their wealth from the threat of communism.<p> Accompanied by a beautiful American justice department agent, Ben eludes the assassins on his trail and follows Sigma's tentacles across Europe, to Brazil, Washington, and finally to a sanitarium known as the Clockworks in the Austrian Alps, where the horrifying agenda of a perverted new world order is revealed. Ludlum, who died between the writing and publishing of this book, was a master of the genre he helped popularize, and <I>The Sigma Protocol</I> shows him at the peak of his craft. <I>--Jane Adams</I> 2470112 2001 The Sigma Protocol total:956|5:144|4:341|3:384|2:76|1:11| 956 3399 1227 61 5 3 false false Sun Aug 10 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Wed Aug 06 11:59:19 -0700 2008 Sun Aug 10 01:21:24 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Fri Jan 30 21:38:24 -0800 2009 Sun Feb 01 21:26:10 -0800 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Tue Sep 23 10:28:29 -0700 2008 Tue Sep 23 10:39:36 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Mon Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2001 Tue Nov 27 23:06:48 -0800 2007 Tue Nov 27 23:08:20 -0800 2007 Audible.com
