The Prometheus Deception - Robert Ludlum ... CIA to investigate the shady dealings of the company he was formerly employed with. But after years on the sidelines, his field skills are rusty, his contacts unreliable, his instincts suspect, and he no longer knows who to trust.

 ... and he may not have been working for the US after all. Everything was so covert that Bryson has to use all his field skills to find out the truth and put his demons and his bosses to rest, once and for all. He will need all his skills and wits though, because they are coming after him with everything they have. My Opinion While this is a very well written spy thriller, as you would expect from Ludlum, the lead character in Nick Bryson is just TOO good. You would expect the hero in a decent spy thriller to be a bit of ...more

Premium Review The Prometheus Deception - Robert Ludlum: Another gem (392 words)
by - written on 05/08/08 (Very useful, 36 readings)
Rating:

The Prometheus Deception was one of the last books to be penned by Robert Ludlum himself. It was one of the first of his novels I read, and is full of long descriptive passages and high intensity spy games. It was published in 2000, and at just over 600 pages long is about par for one of his books. The Plot Nick Bryson is literally the best. Working for the Directorate, he has spent his whole career working for the US on an ultra-secret level. His world is shattered when a job goes wrong and he ends up walking away, only to find that things are not all as they seem and he may not have been working for the US after all. Everything was so covert that ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Decline in talent (301 words)

Rating:

This is the last (to date) book to come from the pen of the late Robert Ludlum, who passed away at home in Florida earlier this year. Nick Bryson worked for a top-secret government agency called The Directorate until one of his missions went bad and he walked away. His satisfaction at having served his country well is ruined when he learns that has been working for the Kremlin. He decides that he has to bring down the entire operation and is launched into a battle for his life. Whilst ‘The Prometheus Deception’ is an interesting thriller, Ludlum’s main character is just too good. We are told that he is a genius with languages, ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review The Prometheus Deception - Robert Ludlum: The Good Old Political Spy Thriller!! (418 words)
by - written on 23/08/01 (Very useful, 84 readings)
Rating:

The good old political spy thriller. It seems that Robert Ludlum, writer of over 22 novels, is a master in this particular genre, and this, The Prometheus Deception, is no exception. It is a fast paced thriller centred on the world of international espionage, spies, high-tech gadgetry, murder and cover-up. Oh, and saving the world. The plot focuses on a spy by the name of Nicholas Bryson, who works for an ultra-secret underground intelligence agency known simply as “The Directorate”. The Directorate is so secret, that only a handful of top people officially know of its existence. The Directorates brief seems to be to do all of the dirty ...  Read the complete review
