The Holcroft Covenant

De: Robert Ludlum

Narrado por: Rob Shapiro

The Fourth Reich is waiting to arise—and the only man who can stop it is about to sign its birth certificate. In 1945 the children of the Third Reich were secretly hidden all over the world, to be concealed until they came of age in the 1970s, at which point $780 million would be waiting in a Swiss bank. But all of these elaborate plans need an unsuspecting outsider to set them in motion: Noel Holcroft, the American son of a high-ranking Nazi officer. He has just been shown an incredible document known as the Holcroft Covenant. If he signs, he will inadvertently deal a serious blow to an already fragile world—and authorize his own death warrant.

Great Read

The story is implausible but it is possible, yetthat is not the only reason to read. There are a lot of twists and turns in the story and presumed friends turn out to be enemies. It is very intriguing and a 70's international thriller. I enjoyed it very much and I recommend a download if you like mystery, WW2 stories, or international thrillers. The only think I didn't like was some of the dialogue for Holcroft. It was too simple like his answers were "What","Are you Crazy" I think the author could have put more debt in the Holcroft character.
Go for it.

really enjoyed it

from the story to the performance, everything was just excellent! highly recommended to those who like suspense and thriller.

Love old school Ludlum. great writer

Love old school Ludlum. great writer of international suspense. new thieves that write under his name are horrible

Slow moving but great ending

Took too long to get the story going but the last 25% moved along quickly and was a great storyline. Reader was excellent

absolutely fantastic

could not stop listening! great story, and the narrator was amazing. definitely worth your time.

pure Ludlum!

Love this book! It is pure Robert Ludlum! Fantastic story and another great listen! lots of plot twist and action. Fans won't be disappointed.

Great story, inconclusive ending

As always, Ludlum write international intrigue on a level all his own. However, the ending completely leaves out what happens w/ the catalyst of the story.

Never ending

Slow and plodding. Main character seems fairly weak for most of the book. much of it seems like a first novel for the author.

Ending was “OK”

The story is very long and can become very confusing, but it does all tie together. Not the most exciting book, but lots of espionage. Overall it’s a good listen and Shapiro is the best. The ending could have been more conclusive, it leaves some to be desired. Overall not dissatisfied, but could have been better.

What a barn burner!

I read this book back in ‘78 - it was good then and holy cow it’s great now ... be prepared to listen in 2 to 3 sessions - fast paced, action packed
