This is the fourth book in the Covert One Series created by Robert Ludlum. I’m pretty sure this is my favorite novel within the series so far, and it’s solidified my faith in Gayle Lynds as a good thriller novelist. Set largely in China, this novel came alive in it’s accurate portrayal of both that country and the shaky alliance that his been formed between America and the East in recent years. A recurring theme in Ludlum novels is the potential evils of unchecked capitalism and the military industrial complex when they become too tightly interwoven into the fabric of Washington’s politics. Suffice it to say that The Altman Code seems to comment upon both the Bush administration and Dick Cheney as the story of greed and warmongering progresses.
Fun to Read.

On Sunday, March 22nd, President Obama responded to Cheney’s statements that the Obama administration wasn’t taking national security seriously. I think Obama’s statments about Gitmo and human torture are absolutely correct. In fact what Obama says here is exactly what Ron Paul was also saying the entire election. Check it out!
