Review
Robert Ludlum is famous for big, slick, bestselling thrillers crammed with hair-raising action and outrageous plot twists: The Janson Directive shows the maestro in good form.
Retired US agent Paul Janson, a top man in corporate security, is lured back to the old game by a personal debt of loyalty. Peter Novak, billionaire and revered peacemaker, gets captured when Muslim revolutionaries topple an island democracy in the Indian Ocean--and within days will be beheaded. Janson sets up a near-impossible "exfiltration" operation to pull Novak from his massively guarded prison, and against all the odds seems on the very brink of success when a shockingly unexpected disaster casts doubt on everything that's happened so far.
Janson needs all his wealth, competence and tradecraft to stay alive through the international shenanigans that follow, with his old US agency and another shadowy organisation both hell-bent on terminating him. He barely escapes a well-laid trap in Greece, becomes the target for world-class snipers in London, lands in the middle of a pitched battle with assault weaponry across the roofs of Amsterdam, meets further mayhem in Hungary, and ends up in the USA for a Bond-like chase sequence, incredible reversals, and a final razor-edge showdown in the United Nations building. Meanwhile there are flashbacks--vitally important, it emerges--to Janson's horrific experience 30 years before in Vietnam.
At every stage Ludlum offers ingenious escapes, cunning ploys, and increasingly sophisticated means of evasion or assassination. With luck, detective skill, and help from a gorgeous female who's a crack shot, Janson painfully reaches the heart of the mystery. Fast-moving, clever, and violent--though occasionally going a fraction over the top--The Janson Directive delivers all the goods we expect from Robert Ludlum. --David Langford

Condition: Muy bueno. : Paul Janson, un operativo retirado, es ahora un especialista en seguridad muy solicitado y extremadamente selectivo. El juego de espías terminó costándole todo lo que era más importante para él y se necesitaría mucho para atraerlo de vuelta a él. Desafortunadamente, la única persona a quien la deuda personal de Janson es tan grande que podría exigirle algo a Janson está llamando a su marcador. Peter Novak, el legendario inmigrante húngaro y jefe de la Fundación Liberty, ha sido secuestrado y se enfrenta a la ejecución a manos de extremistas terroristas. Depende de Janson rescatarlo antes de que Novak sea asesinado. Janson reúne un equipo de primera inmediatamente y logra la tarea casi imposible de sacar a Novak, pero algo sale horriblemente mal, algo que indica que su operación ha sido comprometida desde el principio, y solo el propio Janson sobrevive. Ahora, los principales servicios de inteligencia piensan que Janson fue responsable de la muerte de Novak y están enviando a sus mejores operativos tras él.
