Through a wild twist of fate, it falls to Metcalfe to instigate a bold plan that may be the only hope for what remains of the free world. Now he must travel to wartime Moscow to find, and possibly betray, a former lovera fiery ballerina whose own loyalties are in questionin a delicate dance that could destroy all he loves and honors. Review: Booklist (October 1, 2003) Ludlum, author of such best-sellers as The Bourne Identity, died on March 12, 2001. His output, however, has not slowed noticeably since his passing: this novel is the seventh published under his name since his death. Some of them had credited coauthors, but, presumably, all of them have been polished by editors or uncredited writers. His latest, the story of an American spy sent into Moscow during World War II, is in some regards far superior to most of the stuff Ludlum published during his lifetime. There is a level of detail here often missing from his early novels, suggesting the efforts of a meticulous ghostwriter. Similarly, the characters, including our hero, Stephen Metcalfe, the well-to-do American spy, tend to be more well defined than your typical Ludlum stick figure. On the other hand, the fast-paced plot reflects Ludlum's genuine knack for constructing good stories, and the dialogue, regrettably, is typically overwritten. (Civilization as we know it is being engulfed by Hitler's devouring maw, one character remarks.) The book's peculiarly fascinating lineage aside, here's what really matters: this is one of the better novels published under the Ludlum name. --David Pitt Copyright 2003 Booklist
