Synopsis

Fearless and incorruptible, Andrew Trevayne is a self-made millionaire, former undersecretary of state, and current head of one of the nation’s most prestigious foundations. Now, at the express wish of the president, Trevayne undertakes an investigation into the “secret government”—and is soon swept up in a tidal wave of intrigue and danger. Beyond the corridors of official power he discovers a nightmare maze where billionaires mingle with Mafia dons, where sinister forces are poised to enact a chilling conspiracy, where Congress and even the presidency itself can be bought and sold, where survival hinges on a hair trigger. In this world, a man like Trevayne can easily become a pawn, an enemy—or a king.

Goodreads review by Tim on October 19, 2010

Half way through Trevayne I thought I had incontrovertible proof that Robert Ludlum was the greatest writer in english ever. Why did I believe that?

Goodreads review by Suby on October 07, 2011

Robert Ludlum wrote this book in 1973 just as the Water Gate scandal was unfolding. The book envisages a situation where a few senior men try to substitute American democracy with an Aristocracy where few high intellectuals will rule the country. They put in motion a scheme by which they can appropr......more

Goodreads review by Angela on August 28, 2019

I am such a fan of Bourne but Trevayne is definitely not one of Ludlum’s better one. Just doesn’t stand up to contemporary reading. There are a few times when the plot is exciting or thriller like but mostly just boring......more

Goodreads review by Carlo on January 14, 2025

Un thriller prétexte pour Robert Ludlum: dénoncer la toute puissance d'un lobby, cannibale des milliards de l'Etat, avec approbation de tous les échelons.

Goodreads review by Martin on September 16, 2014

I have had a hard time to finish the book as it was taking on and on and on of the same ideas. The book is definitively not a thriller nor suspense. It is more just a political agitation, with more or less agreeable idealistic principles. This will not stop me to read other Ludlum books, but one lea......more
