Genre: Thriller
The Ambler Warning (2005) The Ambler Warning, like many of Robert Ludlum’s thrillers, gets much of its sense from our knowledge that intelligence agencies cannot be trusted to play fair even by their own. Hal Ambler is held in a facility for insane agents and is himself being drugged to a point where he cannot trust his own crumbling sanity. Even when he escapes, he is unable to be sure of his own past and identity–his very face is not as he remembers, let alone his fishing cabin and the friends of his youth. Something has been made from the wreckage of his mind, and he is not sure whether every step he takes may not be a part of someone else’s plan. By contrast, Caston is the sort of intelligence agent who despises the Hal Amblers of this world–he is an accountant who follows the money of assassination and terror round the world while sitting in front of a monitor. Yet he too starts to get a sense that he is being used.
Part of the originality and strength of Ludlum’s new thriller is that he always knows when to pull surprises like the eventual alliance of Caston and Ambler–two dangerously flawed and partial men in search of knowledge and also of wholeness. The glimpses of the great world of political innovation, and the theories that inform them, also give this rather more thoughtfulness than we saw in, say, Ludlum’s recent Bourne books.
The Bancroft Strategy (2006) When Todd Belknap – a field agent for Consular Operations with a reputation as something of a cowboy – is cut loose from the agency after an operation goes wrong, his best friend and fellow agent is abducted in Lebanon by a vicious militia group. When the government refuses to help, Belknap decides to take matters into his own hands. Meanwhile, hedge fund analyst Andrea Newton gets an unexpected call – she has been left six million dollars by a cousin she’s never met. But there’s one condition: she must agree to sit on the board of the Newton foundation, a charitable organization run by the family patriarch, Paul Newton. Having never even met the family – her mother was married only briefly and cut all contact many years ago – Andrea is intrigued. But the foundation, supposedly dedicated to doing good deeds, appears less and less benign the more deeply involved she gets… What exactly is their involvement with the ‘Genesis’ – a mysterious group working to destabilize the geopolitical balance at the risk of millions of lives? As events escalate, Todd and Andrea must form an uneasy alliance if they are to uncover the truth behind ‘Genesis’ – before it’s too late.
