Sinossi
È notte fonda quando il tenente colonnello Jon Smith si sveglia di soprassalto nella sua stanza d'albergo a L'Aja. È tutto vero, non è un incubo che non riesce a dissiparsi: l'uomo si trova nel mirino laser di un killer pronto a fare fuoco. Intanto nel carcere di Scheveningen un'unità speciale della Corte penale internazionale si occupa del trasferimento di Oman Dattar, signore della guerra pakistano accusato di gravi crimini contro l'umanità. Ma una serie di esplosioni scatena il caos, e Dattar riesce a fuggire. All'apparenza si tratta di due episodi remoti di poco ordinaria follia. Ma una follia di tutt'altra scala incombe su New York: una micidiale arma biologica sta per essere liberata nella metropolitana attraverso i condotti di aerazione. Sono i virus dell'aviaria, del colera e della Shewanella, mutati in laboratorio e incontrollabili, in grado di moltiplicarsi e diffondersi ad altissima velocità senza lasciare scampo. New York è solo l'inizio: tutto l'Occidente rischia di cadere vittima di un piano ordito dai giustizieri di Giano che solo Jon Smith può sventare.

Recensioni
I really enjoyed this book. It continued in the tradition of previous Covert One books - fast paced, action packed, and very suspenseful. New author (new to this series anyway) Jamie Freveletti did a great job of setting the stage, keeping the story moving, and advancing the character development of Leggi tutto
From Goodreads.com It begins with a terrorist attack. Covert-One operative Colonel Jon Smith is attending a conference in The Hague on infectious diseases, together with leading scientists and political figures from around the world. Without warning, the conference hotel is consumed in a bloodbath. S Leggi tutto
I picked this title up as an unabridged audio book. Now I thought it was a Robert Ludlum book - I've never read any of his titles before. Proclaimed across the top: "From the Creator of Jason Bourne... Robert Ludlum's..." Oops. I missed that apostrophe in my rush to get on the road. The book was gho Leggi tutto
In The Janus Reprisal, some nasty Pakistani terrorist types are aiming for total annihilation. The head bad guy is Oman Dattar, an especially evil warlord. After escaping from prison, he sets out to destroy New York with a virus that is conducted by bacteria. I’m not qualified to know if the science Leggi tutto
I won this book as a first read,and i would like to thank the author for the free copy. This is a fast read fiction book - we start off with Col Jon Smith in Hague at a conference for Bio-medical. Lots of medical people with ideas of the next big bacteria. The hotel is bombed followed by several oth Leggi tutto
Loved the book! Didn't want to put it down. After reading this one I can't wait to read the rest!
As is so often the case as of late, I will begin by saying that this book made its way to me as part of the Goodreads First Reads program at no cost. Despite that I will give the book my honest and unbiased assessment. It's probably worth mentioning that the genre of this book is generally outside my Leggi tutto
I just finished The Janus Reprisal. This book completely captivated me with every heart-stopping moment, and every hair-raising development. I was left with two impressions – number one was that I would like to read more of the Covert One series, and number two was that Jamie Freveletti is a highly Leggi tutto
Not as good as the other Covert One books but nevertheless I was very happy to discover that someone is still carrying the torch. Just hope that Gale Lynds is going to write more, his books were by far the best. The Janus Reprisal was more about prevention than about accomplished grand schemes, and
