More about the book

For over thirty years, Robert Ludlum has been recognized as the master of international suspense. In 2000, he elevated his craft with bestsellers like The Prometheus Deception and The Hades Factor, the inaugural novel in the Covert-One series. Now, Covert-One returns with a gripping new tale. The story begins with the shocking final words of Yuri Danko, a Russian security officer, before he is killed by assassins. Danko's classified documents lead Covert-One operative Jon Smith and CIA agent Randi Russell to uncover a terrifying global conspiracy that threatens to unleash a catastrophic plague. A Serb terrorist has been sent from Russia to smuggle deadly bacteria into the United States, with orders to deliver it to an unidentified American agent. The plot thickens when both men are found dead and the bioweapon is stolen. Smith and Russell must race against time to locate the deadly strain and the madman who possesses it, aiming to prevent a disaster that could threaten the very existence of humanity.
