Publisher's summary

For the past three decades, Robert Ludlum's best-selling novels have been enjoyed by hundreds of millions worldwide and have set the standard against which all other thrillers are measured. His Covert-One series has been among his most beloved creations and now comes the latest thrilling novel in the series.

The Lazarus Movement, the dominant force in the eco-conscious, "anti-technology" protest movement, has sent rumblings down the halls of the world's intelligence agencies. Led by a mysterious, never-seen figure known only as Lazarus, this increasingly prominent group is believed by some to be preparing a bold strike.

When an attack on a nanotechnology research facility leaves thousands dead, protesters and scientists alike, from what appears to be a cloud of inadvertently released but gruesomely deadly nanobots, pandemonium reigns. Lt. Col. Jon Smith is activated by Covert-One to find and uncover the truth about Lazarus where all others have failed. As Smith slowly uncovers the deadly underpinnings of the group, he soon learns that the Lazarus Movement is only the very tip of the iceberg in a deadly scheme that threatens billions of lives and will forever change the nature of the world itself.

Robert Ludlum's The Lazarus Vendetta (Unabridged)

While I thought that the book started out slow, I was grateful to find that it was worth the wait.

I thought this was a very good book and I would recommend it to others. If you liked Prey, by the author Michael Crichton, I think you will also like this novel.

Good Ludlum

I enjoyed this novel. The story is well told and has multiple plots that converge as it unfolds. There are multiple layers of friends and foes and some of those have even been "deceived" by their superior. Well put together.

Scott Brick narrates well as usual. I do have to say, however, that I miss Paul Michael's superior accent/personality narration abilities. (P. Michael narrates most of Ludlum's novels). With Scott Brick, the dutch have a german accent and the french sound russian. Sort of distracting.

Long but good

This was a 13 hour book and there were a couple of times it dragged a bit but as a whole, I enjoyed the book. You really have to pay attention to the characters (which is a high number) so that when you get to the last 1/3 of the book you have those AH HAH moments. There is a part I never saw coming.

Fast paced & engaging

My first experience with a Ludlum book has been one which will see me purchase others. A story, which at times, is graphic in its description, may not make the best bedtime listening for some. It is easy to draw parrallels with the "real world", and the possibilities that really exist , as one person chances his hand at world domination. There are very few parts of this book which are dull, generally the action is fast paced, as a seemingly unconnected series of events, and group of people are drawn together to the final conclusion.
Narration is good, with the feeling and Authors intent clearly coming across. Different characters and their personalities are clearly defined, and displayed by the narrator
