Twenty years ago, top agents from the CIA and KGB banded together to bring down the Matarese Circle, an international cabal of powerbrokers and assassins whose sole objective was to achieve worldwide economic domination. Now the bloody Matarese dynasty is back--and the only man with the power to stop it may have already run out of time.... CIA case officer Cameron Pryce is hot on the trail of the new Matarese alliance. His only chance to terminate its ruthless activities is to follow the trail of blood money and stone-cold killers right to the heart of its deadly conspiracy. From the Hamptons to London's Belgrave Square, Matarese assassins have already struck with brutal efficiency, eliminating all who stand in their way. Their chain of violence is impossible to stop--until Pryce gets a rare break. One of the Matarese's victims survives long enough to whisper dying words that will blow the case wide open: the top secret code name for legendary retired CIA agent Brandon Scofield--the only man who has ever infiltrated the Matarese inner circle and lived to tell about it.… (more)

An enjoyable story with superman likes heroes and heroines who were able to range across generations and the world in pursuit of the villains. Guess who is victorious? But how they do it is what will keep you reading! ( )

Definitely not as good as The Matarese Circle but entertaining nonetheless. It was fun to see what happened to the aging super-spy and his beloved, although they were a bit cliche and dated. The younger pair lacked the intensity of the older. And the plot was not as riveting and lacked the constant sense of danger. I shouldn't complain though because it wasn't as formulaic as the earlier Ludlum. ( )
