Larkin (The Tribune) picks the reins to the fifth entry within the Ludlum-spawned Covert-One biotech series (The Altman Code; etc.), bringing on the task a solid intelligence, some really scary nanotechnology and a writing style that sometimes lapses into cliché but always gets the job done. FBI Deputy Assistant Director Kit Pierson and her CIA counterpart, Hal Burke, are secretly working on an operation to eliminate the Lazarus Movement, an environmental group run amok. When a legitimate organization, the Lazarus Movement continues to be taken over by an evil scientist whose goal is—you guessed it—world domination. Thrust into the center of this deadly struggle is series hero Lt. Col. Jon Smith, M.D., a scientist and operative for Covert-One, a super top-secret intelligence unit. When the Lazarus Movement's attack on a biotech lab releases a deadly brew of nanophages, microscopic killer devices that turn those unlucky enough to inhale them into piles of "reddish liquid sludge," some will think that this movement's diabolical leader envisions a vastly depopulated world that he can redesign into an environmental paradise. The action careens from continent to continent, with the bad guys always a number of steps ahead of the heroes. Eventually, everyone ends high on a tropical within the Azores, where, after having a deadly firefight and a few last-minute reversals, the inevitable conclusion arrives. Hand-to-hand action, intriguing science and plot speed will keep most techno-thriller readers nailed with their seats.

Since his death in 2001, Ludlum has joined the ever-expanding ranks of such authors as V. C Andrews, Lawrence Sanders, and William Coughlin who're writing from past the grave. His latest Covert-One novel (written with all the able "assistance" of Patrick Larkin) proves that even being entombed six feet under has not hampered his capability to write intricately plotted, action-packed spy yarns. Bioterrorists have gotten their hands on some nasty nanophages (submolecular organic machines) that cause humans to dissolve in a pool of bloody slime (described quite graphically) and have no qualms about releasing them about the unsuspecting public. Since the body count racks up to the thousands, the evidence seems to point to a militant environmental group, the Lazarus Movement, since the culprit. Unfortunately to the bad guys, Lieutenant Colonel Jonathan Smith (last noticed in The Altman Code, 2003), not simply a medical doctor plus an expert in molecular biology but also an operative for that president's personal, supersecret intelligence agency Covert-One, may be assigned to investigate. Assisted by CIA agent Randi Russell and Peter Howell of British MI-6, Smith rappels (literally) from one perilous situation for the next. A bit too much but a quick read and likely to delight fans of both espionage and also the technothriller. Michael Gannon
