American agent vs. neo-nazi organization. If a Pulitzer prize were awarded for excapist fiction, Robert Ludlum would win it ten times over. NY Times best seller.

Usually I like Mr. Ludlums books. This one though, started off pretty good. By page 22 I think it was, I couldn't deal with it anymore. The dialog between the dead mans son and his adoptive parents is just simply over done. I've read law books that were easier to stick with than this. Maybe it got better farther into the book, don't know and not going to bother reading any farther. I have other books to read that will probably be better than this.

FROM THE PUBLISHER
Deep in the Hausruck Mountains of Austria, there is a remote hideaway - the fortresslike 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?

I rate this book as fair. It only has minor cosmetic damage to the cover and the pages are aged, but none are ripped or missing. Some would list as in good shape, technically it is, but I'm more of a realist
