Covert-One : The Moscow Vector product reviews

Once again I found myself clutching a book I simply did not want to put down. Every spare minute had me reaching for it, as I kept it within easy reach wherever I went. Though I thought it had a somewhat familar theme-of-evil to The Lazarus Vendetta it was unique in so many other ways it didn't get stale, the way some serials do after a few titles. I think the collaboration of Ludlum, to keep the consistancy right, and Larkin, to provide fresh story elements and insights, has resulted in yet another top-notch title.

I particularly liked the whole technical aspect of the story, with insights into the moral and ethical elements of today's drive towards genertic engineering. In our failure to thus far create a clearly-defined form of electronic life, we are exploring the darker avenues of modifying the building blocks of organic life.

Stories like this bring to light the potential for abuse such a technology can allow, if placed in the control of powerful and ruthlessly immoral people... sadly, such as those who have risen to power by climbing the mountain of bodies of those under their control and supposed protection. The truely terrifying picture stories, such as this one, paint is all too real in parts of our world.

Overall, this is a great addition to the Covert-One series, well worth the purchase by any enthusiast of Ludlum's works, or spy-thriller genre in general.
