The Sigma Protocol
The Sigma Protocol | Robert Ludlum
3 posts | 6 read | 1 to read
Now comes The Sigma Protocol, a new breakneck novel of intrigue, conspiracy, and terrifying deception. American investment banker Ben Hartman arrives in Zurich for a ski holiday, the first time he's been back to Switzerland since his twin brother died there in a tragic accident four years earlier. But his arrival in Zurich triggers something far more sinister than his brother's fate. When Ben chances upon Jimmy Cavanaugh, an old college friend, Cavanaugh promptly pulls out a gun and tries to kill him. In a matter of minutes, several innocent bystanders are dead - as well as Cavanaugh - and Ben has barely managed to survive. Plunged into an unspeakable nightmare, Hartman suddenly finds himself on the run. Department of Justice field agent Anna Navarro is being stalked around the world by a relentless killer, managing to survive the killer's attacks only by a combination of luck, skill and her own quick wits. These attacks are somehow related to her current assignment: investigating the sudden - and seemingly unrelated - deaths of a number of very old men throughout the world. The only thing that connects them is a file in the CIA archives, over a half-century old, marked with the same puzzling code word: SIGMA. But someone or something is always seemingly one step ahead of her, the survivors are rapidly dwindling, and her own life is in ever increasing danger. Brought together by accident, Ben and Anna soon realize that their only hope of survival lies with each other. Together they race to uncover the diabolical secrets long hidden behind the code word, Sigma. Secrets that threaten everything they think they know about themselves, everything they believed true about their friends and families, and everything they were ever taught about history itself. For behind Sigma lies a vast deception that is finally coming to fruition and the fate and future of the world is in their hands.

Mehso-so

The story has so many twists and turns, there are parts when my heart races as I read. But then there are also parts where the author over-describes or over-explains situations so that I forget the main scene. Overall, maybe a 6.5/10. All in all a nice read.

Panpan

A passionless exercise that went through the motions of a post-WW2 conspiracy thriller. A stupid, selfish protagonist blunders his way through the predictable plot with blatant deus ex machines helping him along to the next exposition fairy. Only saving grace was the female character's competency.

I will now never be able to take the opinion of the Roanoke Times, the Charleston Post & Courier, or Publisher's Weekly seriously. Ever.
