'THE AQUITAINE PROGRESSION' Robert Ludlum
The world's no.1 storyteller

Aquitaine is the fearful symbol of a devastating new power. A power wielded by six warlord generals, fanatical relics of the Second World War who seek world domination -whatever the cost.

Pitted against them and their deadly ambitions is lawyer Joel Converse, an initially unwilling adversary, a cool operator converted to a mission of white-hot vengeance. Both hunter and hunted, he soon finds himself the most wanted man in Europe, running from the forces of both good and evil. His only aim – on which his own survival depends – must be to stop the conspiracy before it is too late…

Taking the reader on a journey of page-turning tension and captivating adventure, 'The Aquitaine Progression' boasts all the hallmarks of Robert Ludlum's expert storytelling.
