De la contraportada

For three decades, Robert Ludlum's bestselling novels have set the standard in almost every country in the world against which all other novels of international intrigue are measured. Now comes the latest volume in the series of novels featuring Robert Ludlum's Covert-One.

The Altman Code

When word reaches the President of the United States that a Chinese cargo ship is transporting chemicals to a rogue nation intent on creating new biological weapons, the president knows he must act quick to obtain the proof he needs.

Covert-One agent Jon Smith is sent to rendezvous in Taiwan with another agent who has acquired the ship's true manifest. But before Smith can get the document, he is ambushed, the second agent is murdered, and the evidence is destroyed. Smith escapes with only his life and a verbal message-the president's biological father is still alive, held prisoner by the Chinese for fifty years. As the mysterious ship draws closer to its end port, Smith is losing time in uncovering the truth about the vessel and its cargo-a truth that probes the secrets of the Chinese ruling party, the faction in Washington working to undermine the elected government, and the international cabal who is thrusting the world to the brink of war...

De la solapa interior

A Chinese cargo ship is remored to be carrying tons of chemicals for biological weapons. A President is in conflict, because decades of negotiations with China have a long last yielded a landmark human rights agreement that China is willing to sign. It's up to operative Col. Jon Smith to find proof of what the ship's cargo really is. Racing against the clock, Smith uncovers the truth - a truth that probes the deepest secrets of the Chinese ruling party and reveals a terrifying international cabal whose diabolical plan thrusts the world to the very brink of war.
