American agent Harry Latham has penetrated the fortresslike mountain hideaway of the Brotherhood of the Watch, a neo-Nazi organization that was born in the days after the fall of the Third Reich. But on the eve of his most spectacular success, after three years in deep cover, Harry disappears. Drew Latham, Special Officer for Consular Operations in Paris, is frantic to discover his older brother's fate. But when Drew receives the good news that Harry has surfaced, gut-twisting doubts arise. For Harry has emerged with an explosive document: a list of secret supporters of the Brotherhood, among them high-ranking officials of the United States and its allies. But is it legitimate? The search for the truth about Harry and the growing Nazi threat will plunge Drew into a labyrinth of deceit and death. And whoever makes it out alive will hold the fate of the free world in his hands. Praise for Robert Ludlum and "The Apocalypse Watch"" " "A powerful, exploding novel . . . vintage Ludlum in fine form."--"Booklist" "If a Pulitzer Prize were awarded for escapist fiction, Robert Ludlam undoubtedly would have won it. Ten times over."--"Mobile Register"" " "Bloody great fun."--"Kirkus Reviews"… (más)

En los años noventa, el resurgimiento nazi propicia que la Hermandad extienda sus tentáculos a toda Europa. Sin embargo, los servicios de espionaje occidentales han consegido infiltrar en su seno a un agente norteamericano...

To any sane person there has always been an unfathomable mystery about the systematic evil the Nazi regime perpetrated. Like a moral black hole, it seems to defy the laws of nature while being part of that nature. David Ansen Newsweek, December 20, 1993
