THE PROMETHEUS DECEPTION, Robert Ludlum, St. Martin's, Suspense/Thriller, ISBN: 0312253
Today I drove to see my daughter's hockey game. The drive was made tolerable only by an intense spy nove on tape. Nicholas Bryson, in THE PROMETHEUS DECEPTION,spent 15 years of his life as a deep cover operative for The Directorate. The idea behind The Directorate is simple. The alphabet soup agencies --- FBI, CIA, NSD, etc., --- spend as much time one-upping each other as they do preserving national security. Hence, The Directory is created. It is a quasi-legal organization whose existence is a close-held and guarded secret, known only to the President of the United States and a few of his closest advisors. Bryson over time becomes The Directorate's most prized operative. It quickly becomes the only life he knows.
