Robert Ludlum's the Cassandra Compact

For over 30 years, Robert Ludlum has reigned as the master of the modern espionage novel. The Cassandra Compact is the second work in his bold Covert-One series. American intelligence officer Jonathan Smith sits at an outdoor cafe in Venice, waiting to meet Danko, a Russian colleague. The two men have forged a relationship through their mutual efforts to halt the development of bioweapons. Minutes after Danko arrives, the Russian is cut down by gunfire. Evidently Danko had been considered a threat to international security. As Smith investigates Danko's connections, he discovers plans for biochemical warfare that could change the face of the globe. Every bit as riveting as Smith's first adventure, The Hades Factor, The Cassandra Compact creates a picture of worldwide devastation that is all too plausible. Audie Award-winning narrator George Guidall adds additional drama to every scene.
