The Prometheus Deception

Robert Ludlum is the acknowledged master of suspense and international intrigue. For over thirty years, in more than twenty international bestsellers, he has set a standard that has never been equaled. Now, with ‘The Prometheus Deception’, he proves that he is at the very pinnacle of his craft. Nicholas Bryson spent years as a deep-cover operative for the American secret intelligence group the Directorate. After a critical undercover mission went horribly wrong, Bryson was retired to a new identity. Years later, his closely held cover is cracked and Bryson learns that the Directorate was not what it claimed- that he was a pawn in a complex scheme against his own country’s interests. Now it has become increasingly clear that the shadowy Directorate is headed for some dangerous endgame- but no one knows precisely who they are and what they are planning. With Bryson their only possible asset, the director of the CIA recruits him to find, re-infiltrate, and stop the Directorate, but after years on the sidelines, Bryson’s field skills are rusty, his contacts unreliable, and his instincts suspect.
