Features & Highlights

  • On one evening in Washington, DC, several high-ranking members of government disappear in a mass kidnapping. Among the kidnapped is Nick Rendel, a computer software coding expert in charge of drone programming and strategy. He is the victim with the most dangerous knowledge, including confidential passwords and codes that are used to program the drones. If revealed, his kidnappers could reprogram the drones to strike targets within the United States. Jon Smith and the Covert One team begin a worldwide search to recover the officials, but as the first kidnapping victims are rescued, they show disturbing signs of brainwashing or mind-altering drugs. Smith's investigation leads him to Fort Detrick, where a researcher, Dr. Laura Taylor, had been attempting to create a drug to wipe memory from soldiers suffering from post-traumatic stress syndrome. But Dr. Taylor's research was suspended almost a year ago, when she was placed in a mental institution. Now, if Smith doesn't figure out the brainwashing drug, and track down the kidnapped Nick Rendel, the kidnappers will soon have the power to carry out drone strikes anywhere in the world . . .

This By-the-Numbers Shot Doesn't Hit Any Target

A by-the-numbers attempt that just doesn’t score on any level. It was as if the author emptied every spice in her cabinet into a blender with water, frappéd and then served. There was no discernable flavor, just a mush. Every plot device, technical innovation and character type was put in, but the end product was bland. Even the technical parts were thin. All the gadgets were there, but just outlined, with no believable details. I listened to 80% of the audiobook, then quit because I just didn’t care about the characters, the plot or how it ended. The Ludlum name will sell these at the airport gift shop, but I won’t be buying any more.
