 Robert
Ludlum's The Altman Code. A Covert One novel
by Robert Ludlum
and Gayle Lynds
On the dark waterside docks of Shanghai, a
photographer records cargo being secretly loaded. He's brutally
killed and his camera destroyed. Two weeks later on the
dangerous high seas, the U.S. Navy covertly tracks a Chinese
ship rumored to carry tons of chemicals for Saddam Hussein to
create new biological weapons. The President cannot let the ship
reach Iraq. At the same time, he doesn't want the navy to attack
and board it either, because decades of negotiations with China
have at long last yielded a landmark human rights agreement that
China is willing to sign. The President orders Fred Klein, head
of Covert One, to find solid proof of what the Chinese ship is
ferrying. Operative Col. Jon Smith is sent to rendezvous in
Taiwan with another agent who has acquired the ship's true
manifest. But the second agent is murdered, the proof is
destroyed, and Smith is left only with a verbal message - the
President's biological father is still alive, held a prisoner by
the Chinese for fifty years. Smith must find the truth about the
ship, a truth that probes the deepest secrets of the Chinese
ruling party...
