Road to Omaha

In The Road to Gandolfo Robert Ludlum introduced us to the outrageous General MacKenzie Hawkins and his legal wizard, Sam Devereaux, whose plot to kidnap the pope spun wildly out of control into sheer hilarity. Now Ludlum's two wayward heroes return with a diabolical scheme to right a very old wrong-and wreak vengeance on the (expletive deleted) who drummed the Hawk out of the military. Their outraged opposition will be no less than the White House. Byzantine Treachery Discovering a long-buried 1878 treaty with an obscure Indian tribe, the Hawk-a.k.a. Chief Thunder Head-hatches a brilliant plot that will ultimately bring him and his reluctant lawyer Sam before the Supreme Court. Their goal: to reclaim a choice piece of American real estate-the state of Nebraska. Which just happens to be the headquarters of the U.S. Strategic Air Command! Relentless Action Will they succeed against the powers that be? Will the Wopotami tribe ever have their day in the Supreme Court? From the Oval Office to the Pentagon, all the president's men are outwitted, until it rests with CIA Director Vincent "Vinnie the Bam-Bam" Mangecavallo to cut Sam and Hawk off at the pass. And only one thing is certain: Robert Ludlum will keep us in nonstop suspense-and side-splitting laughter-through the very last page.Ludlum, Robert is the author of 'Road to Omaha' with ISBN 9780553560442 and ISBN 0553560441.
