Product Description

Synopsis

Third novel in the Covert-One series. When an explosion and fire destory part of the esteemed Pasteur Institute in Paris, cyber wizard Marty Zellerbach is left in a coma, while the body of one of the world's top computer scientists -- Emile Chambord -- hasn't been found at all. Although a terrorist group takes credit for the bombing, American and British officials begin to wonder. Chillingly, perhaps the situation is even worse than it appears. At the same time in a clandestine army lab in Colorada, Lt. Col. Jon Smith is part of a team working to create a DNA computer. With his background in molecular biology, this project intrigues him: molecular computers will be the most powerful computers the world has ever seen. A single bottle of DNA can crunch more mathematics than all the conventional silicon computers on earth today. When Jon learns his old friend Marty is seriously injured in the explosion, he's about to leave for Paris. Then Nathan Klein, the shadowy chief of Covert-One, shows up with an assignment -- find Dr. Chambord.

It appears the Pasteur bombing was a decoy to hide the kidnapping of the scientist, because, with Marty's help, he's succeeded in building the globe's first working molecular computer. The military implications are terrifying if the computer falls into the hands of a rogue government or terrorist cell. From Paris to London, Brussels and Algiers, Jon Smith searches for the scientist and the ambitious forces behind the bombing and theft. With the help of colleagues Peter Howell, Randi Russell, and a recovered Marty, Jon uncovers a web of deception on the brink of reshaping Europe and threatening the destruction of the United States.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brill, 23 Nov 2003
This review is from: The Paris Option : A Covert-one Novel (Paperback)
When an explosion destroys the esteemed Pasteur Institute in Paris, cyber-wizard Marty Zellerbachis left in a coma, while one of the world's top computer scientists, Emile Chabord goes missing. Although a terroist group takes credit for the bombing. American and British officialsbegin o wonder wheather their might be a more sinister plot. A DNA computer starts to terroize the world!!!

I thought it was a great book, it was the best ludlum book I've read. It was full of action, and all the way through as well. To make a book full o action is very difficult.

I would recommend it to anyone over 16 because their is some swearing and difficult words. It was like any other Ludlum book, brilliant. So any ludlum fan would love it.

A brilliant book, definately read it

5.0 out of 5 stars High paced and very addictive!, 6 Nov 2005
By Michael Burr (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Robert Ludlum's The Paris Option: A Covert-One Novel (Paperback)
This book is action packed from the beginning to the end. It refers to real events which have taken place, real agencies and also has references to a real website, which I have visited!

On the whole, I would recommend anyone to read this short and enjoyable novel by Robert Ludlum and Gayle Lynds. Having read this novel, I can't wait to read others in the same series such as "The Bourne Legacy".

1.0 out of 5 stars Rubbish, 2 Sep 2004
By Nigel L. Carter (Rugby United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Robert Ludlum's the Paris Option (Ludlum, Robert, Covert-One Novels.) (Paperback)
Badly written and difficult to read. A childish approach reminiscent of Enid Blyton's Famous Five - an insult to the memory of Robert Ludlum. Should be read as a new novelist - Gayle Lynds and not trade on the Ludlum name. I found it impossible to complete, something I can say of very few novels.
