This is the sixth novel in Ludlum's "Covert-One" series, which has developed somewhat of a cult following (Covert-One even has its own website). And no wonder- it's got a little bit of everything you want in a thriller: espionage, nanotechnology, neat subplots, plenty of action and intrigue, strong and stoic heroes, spectacular international settings. What more can you ask for?!

Brings back the old spy story between the US and Russia with a nasty twist. Very good vacation, travel read. Slow in some spots but you want to know what happens next so keep going with it.
Storyline is that the Russian President wants all of old Russia back, uses a very specific virus to get rid of high level international government officials so that his war plans don't get noticed. Its a hunt and seek virus tailored to kill only the person it has been designed/programmed for, otherwise its harmless to others. Once US operatives discover something is going on its a race to find the evidence before its destroyed and Russia invades its old territories.
