THE TRISTAN BETRAYAL

The Tristan Betrayal by Robert Ludlum Moscow — a city
under siege by hardcore Communists threatening to plunge
the country back into Stalinist darkness. Into the heart
of the firestorm American ambassador Stephen Metcalfe has
been summoned to find the one man who controls the levers
of power in absolute secrecy — an official known only as
the Dirizhor. His support of the bloody coup will bring
the entire world to the brink of nuclear war. Metcalfe is
the only man with the cunning to reach him and to convince
him to resist. Its up to Metcalfe to change the course of
history. Hes done it before. THE POWER OF THE PAST For
Metcalfe returning to Russia is also a personal mission
that will stretch across three continents and fifty years
into his past where the loyalties of a former love — a
woman both impossibly beautiful and possibly treacherous
— were tested; where the shadow of a Nazi assassin still
haunts; and a debauched German aristocrat manipulated the
destiny of everyone he touched. Now as past and present
converge Metcalfe braces himself for a new trial of trust
and betrayal one with chilling implications that could
threaten what remains of the free world.
