Deep in the Hausruck Mountains of Austria, there is a
remote hideaway—the fortress-like nerve center of an
ominous movement, the Brotherhood of the Watch. American
agent Harry Latham has penetrated the movement, a neo-Nazi
organization that was born in the days after the Third
Reich's defeat and whose deadly tentacles have spread to
the United States and beyond. Now, after three years in
deep cover, and on the eve of his most spectacular
success, Harry Latham has disappeared.
Drew Latham,
Special Officer for Consular Operations in Paris, is
frantic to discover his older brother's fate. But when he
receives the sudden good news that Harry has surfaced, gut-
twisting doubts arise. Has Harry's cover been blown? And
if so, why has the Brotherhood of the Watch let him live?
For Harry Latham has emerged with an explosive
list: the secret supporters of the movement, among them
some of the highest-ranking officials in the United States
and its allies, names synonymous with honorable service to
their nations. It is a document that could topple
governments—but is the list legitimate? Can Drew Latham
trust his own brother?
To find the answer, Drew
Latham decides to take on his brother's identity, stepping
directly into the crossfire between the assassins gunning
for Harry Latham—and those who want Drew himself
dead.
From a hushed Alpine valley to the
backstreets of Paris, from the ruling chambers of
Washington and London to the casinos of Monte Carlo,
The Apocalypse Watch is vintage Robert Ludlum, a
superb international thriller from the writer who created
the standard for a new kind of entertainment.
