Another awesome novel from allan folsom
4 novels, 3 were great....this was just awesome. fast paced, exciting and scary.....I love the way he writes....Keep going Allan, you are one of the best out there....
So So....
I have really enjoyed a couple of Folsom's books but lately they have been disappointing. This book at best is so-so. The story is interesting but not engaging enough to keep your attention for 500+ pages. It was entertaining at points but by the end I was just trying to get through it. Not recommended....

I hope there's another installment....too good to end!
"The Day After Tomorrow" is one of my all-time favorite novels and one I recommend constantly. So I had extremely high hopes when I stumbled upon "The
Machiavelli
Covenant
," and it did not disappoint! [I had not read "The Exile" but it did't interfere with my enjoyment or understanding of this book.]
I am so confused by the negative reviews of this book, since I thought it was supurb from start to finish - a carefully and intricately woven plot with twists and turns throughout the novel and an entirely suspenseful and intriguing tale of possible worldwide terrorism, the likes of which we have never experienced. I thought the subject matter was timely and fascinating...the possibility of an oranization so far-reaching and powerful as to have the ability to take down entire civilizations at its whim and for its advantage.
Mr. Folsom is a brillant writer and I can't recommend this book highly enough for those interested in this type of fiction. If you like Ludlum, David Baldacci, Nelson DeMille, Dan Brown, etc., you will love this!
I truly hope there is a sequel coming soon, because I can't get this book out of my mind an am not prepared to let these characters go!

For five hundred years a despotic order of the supremely rich and powerful has kept a little known manuscript by the political thinker Niccolo
Machiavelli hidden
away under heavy guard: THE
COVENANT
, a terrifying blueprint for the gaining and keeping of true political power. Bonded by complicity in ritual murder and dedicated to a singular vision of global domination, the group, guided by Machiavelli?s document, has prospered far beyond any dreams of power and avarice.
In Washington, D.C., former LAPD detective Nicholas Marten comes out of hiding when he learns his former girlfriend, her child and husband, a U.S. congressman, have been mysteriously murdered. Marten discovers her husband had just uncovered a top-secret and illegal bioweapons program, and when the feds fail to investigate, Marten resolves to go after the killers himself.
Meanwhile, on his way to a NATO summit in Warsaw, President John Henry Harris is confronted by a secret cabal inside his own White House who demand he authorize the assassinations of the Chancellor of Germany and the President of France at the NATO meeting. He angrily refuses, knowing full well that in doing so he has put his own life and the fate of the country in jeopardy.
Fleeing for his life, Harris joins forces with Marten and the beautiful but enigmatic French photo-journalist Demi Picard. Together they uncover the truth about the most devastating and powerful group the world has ever known. Swept from Washington to Paris, from Berlin to Malta, Madrid to Barcelona they flee a ruthless circle of the president?s here-to-fore most trusted advisors, military leaders and transnational corporate chieftains all of whom want them dead. Out manned, outnumbered and outgunned, these three stand alone against the age-old secrets of THE COVENANT.
