Robert Ludlum's The Lazurus Vendetta
Robert Ludlum and Patrick Larkin
The #1 bestselling master of suspense and international intrigue continues to set the standard against which all other thrillers are measured with his expertly plotted, pulse-pounding Covert-One series.
The Lazarus Movement, the dominant force in the eco-conscious, "anti-technology" protest movement, has sent rumblings down the halls of the world's intelligence agencies. Led by a mysterious, never-seen figure known only as Lazarus, this increasingly prominent group is believed by some to be preparing a bold strike.
When an attack on a nano-technology research facility leaves thousands dead—protestors and scientists alike—from what appears to be a cloud of inadvertently released but gruesomely deadly nanobots, pandemonium reigns. Lt. Col. Jon Smith is activated by Covert-One to find the truth about Lazarus where all others have failed. As Smith slowly uncovers the deadly underpinnings of the group, he soon learns that the Lazarus Movement is only the very tip of the iceberg in a deadly scheme that threatens billions of lives and will forever change the nature of the world itself.
ROBERT LUDLUM's novels have been published in thirty-two languages and forty countries. Read by hundreds of millions worldwide, his Covert-One books include The Hades Factor, The Moscow Vector, The Altman Code, The Paris Option, and The Cassandra Compact—all available from St. Martin's Paperbacks.
Patrick Larkin is the author of The Tribune as well as the co-author of five bestselling thrillers with Larry Bond, including Red Phoenix and The Enemy Within. He lives in northern California with his family.
