The Aquitaine Progression

A Novel

By: Robert Ludlum

Narrated by: Rob Shapiro

In Geneva, American lawyer Joel Converse meets a man he hasn’t seen in twenty years, a covert operative who dies violently at his feet, whispering words that hand Converse a staggering legacy of death: “The generals . . . they’re back . . . Aquitaine!” Suddenly Converse is running for his life, alone with the world’s most shattering secret. Pursued by anonymous executioners to the dark corners of Europe, he is forced to play a game of survival by blood rules he thought he’d long left behind. One by one, he traces each thread of a lethal progression to the heart of every major government, a network of coordinated global violence that no one believes possible—no one but Converse and the woman he once loved and lost, the only two people on earth who can wrest the world from the iron grasp of Aquitaine.

Another great Ludlum

Certainly long, but the story flows and is captivating. Like other books by Ludlum, the action doesn't lend itself to sensationalism, but is apt for the story. Worth your time.

The Aquitaine Progression well written complex

The Aquitaine Progression is a well written, complex, somewhat confusing international thriller intrigue novel written by a guy who used to do voices in commercials. The narrator, Rob Shapiro does an outstanding job with the voices of the many characters in the book. German, French, Dutch and a sprinkling of a few other European languages are throughout the novel. It's worth a read. Rest in peace, Mr. Ludlum.

great story and narrator!

I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys the Bourne series. the narrator did a fantastic job

Good story, but is a little long

The story was great but it is repetitive of detail, and a lot of characters. But the ending was pretty good, and the story was very imaginative.

Amazingly relevant for today!

The principle ideas provide a fascinating analogy for today's 2017 political climate. Really enjoyed Ludlum's book!
