Description

The Fourth Reich is waiting to be born. The only man who can stop it is about to sign its birth certificate. In 1945 the children of the Third Reich were secretly hidden all over the world - to be concealed until the 1970s, when they would come of age. Then the most elaborate plans and $780 million in a Swiss bank would be waiting. There would even be an unsuspecting outsider to set the plan into action. That outsider is Noel Holcroft, the American son of a high-ranking Nazi. He's just been shown an amazing document, the Holcroft Covenant. If he signs, it will be his own death warrant and a devastating threat to the security of the world.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Pleases and seduces.... Mr. Ludlum stuffs more surprises into his novels than any other six-pack of thriller writers combined.... I sprained my wrist tuming his pages and didn't notice until an hour later." (John Leonard, The New York Times)

Fun Romp

This book is laughably unrealistic - to be honest, it borders on ludicrous. A struggling New York architect finds out his father was a powerful Nazi who felt guilty and stole $780 Million from his fellows, leaving it to his biological child to distribute to victims of the Holocaust. Meanwhile, other children of Nazis - secreted around the world and now grown up - are working to establish the Fourth Reich. The protagonist has to learn (on the fly) how to become a James Bond-style superspy and save the world. Yeah.. I know, right?
Fortunately, the writing is passable, the plot is "keep-you-guessing" sinuous, and the action is non-stop. It's far from easy to suspend disbelief - but fans of Ludlum should be used to it - and the book is fast-paced enough to be quite entertaining if you can pull it off.

Also fortunately, Rob Shapiro is an above-average reader. His pacing is a little off, but his tone, timbre, and cadence are professional. I wish he had avoided accents (his German accents are brutal, for example), but the voice-acting is emotive and characters are instantly recognizable. The narration helps to immerse readers into the author's world.

This is a very good example of a Ludlum novel. Sure, it's silly, but giving your brain some candy now and again is healthy. This bit of junk-food from 1978 is worth a Credit. It's not as effective as the 'Bourne' novels (or as "plausible" as 'The Chancellor Manuscript', for example), but 'The Holcroft Covenant' rates 7.5/10 stars for Ludlum adfficianados (or even your average action-thriller fan)
