St. Martin's Griffin, New York, 2005. Trade Paperback. Very Good. Minimal shelf wear, very nice condition. 407 pages. "The latest in the series of novels featuring Covert-One, created by Robert Ludlum. Rising from the wreckage of the former Soviet Union, a ruthless financier from one of the former client states has remade himself publicly as one of the great figures on the world's financial stage. But mere wealth is not enough -- is it ever? At an international medical conference in Prague, Dr. Fiona Devin - an American scientist attached to the Department of Defense - is contacted by one of her Russian colleagues. Dr. Valentin Petrenko, a specialist in rare diseases, is concerned about a small cluster of deaths in Moscow but even more concerned by the Russian government's refusal to release publicly any information or data on the outbreak. Meeting with Devin to pass on his case notes and samples, the two are attached, Petrenko killed while Devin barely escapes with the notes and medical samples. Lt. Col. Jon Smith, in his role as a Covert-One operative, is dispatched to Prague to get Devin and her information safely back to the U.S. As Devin begins to analyze the information, a series of highly placed figures in the U.S. government being getting ill, coming down with a mysterious illness that bears a close resemblance to the disease described in Petrenko's notes. The disease is the perfect assassination tool - a bioweapon that, using each target's DNA, is undetectable, unstoppable, and incurable. And it is soon clear that someone is targeting the U.S. government, working to destabilize it from within. With few clues and precious little time, Covert-One and Jon Smith must find and defeat the mysterious figure who stands at the center of this nefarious plot.".
