Due uomini avanzano a fatica nella giungla, due uomini che non sanno se possono fidarsi l'uno dell'altro, ma non hanno scelta. Uno è padre Willy, missionario cattolico, l'altro è Nicholas Marten, inviato in missione segreta dal presidente degli Stati Uniti. Padre Willy ha delle foto compromettenti da mostrare a Marten, foto dalle quali appare chiaro un coinvolgimento nella guerra civile di un'agenzia di sicurezza privata americana. È un complotto internazionale che ha al centro, come spesso capita, il petrolio. Immense quantità di petrolio. E tutte le informazioni sono racchiuse in un fascicolo segreto: il dossier Hadrian. Quando padre Willy cade vittima di un'imboscata, Marten sopravvive a stento... e inizia a scappare. Perché per i suoi inseguitori il segreto che ha scoperto, e al quale non sa neppure lui se credere, deve rimanere occulto a ogni costo. Inizia così una disperata fuga alla ricerca della verità, che porterà Marten dall'isola di Bioko a Parigi, a Berlino, a Lisbona, sulle tracce del misterioso dossier Hadrian... ( ) Ex-rechercheur Nicholas Marten wordt naar Equatoriaal Guinee gestuurd om informatie te verzamelen over een pact tussen een grote Amerikaanse oliemaatschappij en een groep huurmoordenaars. Hij ontdekt dat de Amerikanen wapens leveren aan rebellen in het door oorlog geteisterde land. Moord, geweld en bedrog achtervolgen Marten terwijl hij vlucht van West-Afrika naar Berlijn en Lissabon. Inzet is de macht over een reusachtig olieveld – en daarmee de wankele balans tussen goed en kwaad, rechten en politieke spelletjes. De prijs: duizenden mensenlevens. En Martens eigen leven, als hij niet uitkijkt... Diese Rezension wurde für LibraryThing Early Reviewers geschrieben. Well written but ultimately a very cookie-cutter thriller. Clearly the research and energy of the author has been channelled into his latest work, I just wish that it was les predicatble and stook out among its peers. My first Folsom book. Overall, it was an excellent read. Full of adventure, mystery, and intrigue. Fast pace. Quite the page turner. I felt like I was watching the TV series, "24". Lots of action and unknowns with an international flair to it. But, I didn't care much for the X-rated sex scene between Marten and Anne. The details were not really necessary. And, there seemed to be a lot of unneeded rehashing of events throughout the book, resulting in a prolonged and stretched out storyline. And, there were a few moments when the story began to bore me. Rarely do I read a 600+ page book, but this was just good enough to hold my attention span and keep on reading to the finish. I've found a new author to add to my Favorites list and look forward to reading Folsom's other books. If you have the patience to read a lengthy book, but full of suspense and intrigue, then I highly recommend The Hadrian Memorandum. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
