Great Noel Holcroft, arquitecto norteamericano, es llamado a Ginebra, donde se le muestra un extraordinario documento redactado por tres hombres hace más de treinta años, cada uno de ellos miembro del Comando en jefe del Tercer Reich. Uno de estos hombres era el padre natural de Noel. Los tres, espantados ante el horror de las revelaciones de la máquina nazi, han creado un pacto y han ejecutado un robo masivo. De los cofres alemanes de Hitler han sustraÃdo la suma de 780 millones de dólares que, a manera de reparación por los crÃmenes cometidos por el Dictador, habrán de emplearse para ayudar a los sobrevivientes y descendentes de los caÃdos en el Holocausto. Lo único que se necesita para disponer de estos fondos es la firma de Holcroft y las de los otros herederos. Habrá que encontrarlos. Pero el documento resulta ser falso. Los millones no serán empleados con la creación del Cuarto Reich. Los otros herederos están a la espera. Ellos saben cuál es la verdadera intención. Holcorft debe jugar su vida para detener el plan y a los hombres decididos a llevarlo a cabo. 3.25* I should have read the cover to fully understand what this book was about. I think it would have helped me during the reading process. There were so many characters, so many secret operatives that were pretending to be on different sides, and so many different German secret societies that it was difficult to keep the plot and it's many characters/motives straight. It wasn't until 3/4 of the way through the book that I decided to read through the inside flap to see what the summary was - and while it gave pretty much the entire plot away, it made everything so much more clear! If a book depends upon it's summary that much - and especially a thriller/suspense book nonetheless - then it's probably not the book for me. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension

HTML: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. Praise for Robert Ludlum and The Holcroft Covenant “Pleases and seduces . . . [Robert] Ludlum stuffs more surprises into his novels than any other six-pack of thriller writers combined. . . . I sprained my wrist turning his pages and didn’t notice until an hour later.”—John Leonard, The New York Times “Don’t ever begin a Ludlum novel if you have to go to work the next day.”—Chicago Tribune.
