The Scorpio Illusion
By Robert Ludlum
Amaya Bajaratt is the most deadly terrorist in the annals of political struggle: beautiful, elusive, the chameleon of freedom-fighters, the horror of her past have made her an accomplished assassin; her motive is revenge her vowed intent is murder. Behind her are the Scorpios - a clandestine network of the wealthy and the well-placed – rich enough, clever enough, obsessed enough to overthrow governments. Where the prize is international power, the game and players obey no god-made rules. As the forces of darkness gather, the side of the angels musters its troops: but who is angel, who devil in this miasma of disguise and deception?
Tyrell Hawthorne had been in his day a brilliant naval intelligence officer, but with the death of his wife - a victim of the lethal games spies play- he lost his taste for the fray. Now he is dragged reluctantly into the deadliest game of all as a mysterious woman embarks on a voyage of violence and mayhem, where love, too, may be a weapon.
