À propos de cet audio

 The Fourth Reich is waiting to arise—and 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 they came of age in the 1970s, at which point $780 million would be waiting in a Swiss bank. But all of these elaborate plans need an unsuspecting outsider to set them in motion: Noel Holcroft, the American son of a high-ranking Nazi officer. He has just been shown an incredible document known as the Holcroft Covenant. If he signs, he will inadvertently deal a serious blow to an already fragile world—and authorize his own death warrant.

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)

Fun Romp

I didn’t even finish the book. It was not believable or interesting. Not up to his standards.

Not a great Ludlum book
