    About this audiobook

    In Geneva, American lawyer Joel Converse meets a man he hasn't seen in twenty years, a covert operative who dies violently at his feet, whispering words that hand Converse a staggering legacy of death: "The generals . . . they're back . . . Aquitaine!" Suddenly Converse is running for his life, alone with the world's most shattering secret. Pursued by anonymous executioners to the dark corners of Europe, he is forced to play a game of survival by blood rules he thought he'd long left behind. One by one, he traces each thread of a lethal progression to the heart of every major government, a network of coordinated global violence that no one believes possible-no one but Converse and the woman he once loved and lost, the only two people on earth who can wrest the world from the iron grasp of Aquitaine.

      Just stick to Ludlum from the 80s. His later stuff ranges from just OK to terrible.
    • 5/5
      Joel Converse, now an internationally recognized attorney for a prestigious New York firm, is a former USAF pilot who had been shot down in the Vietnam War and was captured and tortured before escaping and making his way back across the enemy lines to safety.As the story opens, Joel is in Geneva, Switzerland acting as counsel to finalize some negotiations for one of his firm’s corporate clients, when an odd phone call draws him to an unexpected meeting at a sidewalk café. During the course of the meeting, a horrendous global plot is laid out before him; a plot that is almost too incredible to believe. It is being brought to reality by an organization that is code-named Aquitaine. And “someone” wants Joel Converse to stop it. Robert Ludlum, always a master of suspense, intrigue and espionage, once again delivers a page-turning read. Full of plot twists and turns, this book kept me up late at night because I just couldn’t stop reading. The characters are well-developed and the plot is fantastic. Some of the dialogue seemed a little implausible, but I credit that to the fact that the book was written over 25 years ago and language has changed a bit since then. I don’t believe that this detracts at all from the story. The Aquitaine Progression is a swift moving storyline that never lags or loses steam, this book is a must-read for fans of the suspense/thriller genre and of course, for any Ludlum fan.
