This was my first book by Late Mr. Sidney Sheldon. The way I got hooked to his writing was by accident and I am glad it happened.
One of my cousins was on a visit and she brought this book with her to our home. One night I was sitting in the dining room, having coffee and thinking about starting a new book. By chance I saw this book; it was on the table across from where I was sitting. I looked at the cover, read a bit from the back cover, and started reading.
I read a few pages and was about to leave for my room when I realized it was not my book so I left it where I found it. But I was already addicted to this new world.
The next day I found the book in the TV lounge and started reading again. Basically, I was reading it in episodes and it was like being on a drug that you can’t have because I didn’t want anyone to know that I am reading it. After all, I was not on talking terms with my cousin. Few days passed like this and then she left and took her book with her. I was still in the middle of the story so the next day I went to the book store and bought a copy of my own.
The story is gripping but sometimes sad, but that is a part of the plot and the mystery is going to make you crazy. Even with all the drama, action, suspense, and thrills, the book is written in a very simple and understandable way. Don’t confuse it with the doomsday conspiracy or the cold war because it has nothing to do with that. It is about something else and you should read it in the book instead of me telling you about it. The pace is almost perfect; you don’t get bored and even with the parts with “sadness.”
Some writers were so accurate about the new world conspiracies, that you start to believe that they had time machines or they already knew what the governments are planning because they had informants working for them. Mr. Sidney Sheldon was one of these writers.
Synopsis:
“OPERATION DOOMSDAY… ACTIVATE…
Commander Robert Bellamy of US Naval Intelligence is dispatched on a top secret mission. A weather balloon carrying sensitive military information has crashed in Switzerland. Bellamy must locate the ten witnesses to the incident so that they can be sworn to secrecy.
But as he conducts his search Bellamy begins to suspect that he, too, is being hunted, by an unknown lethal force… that what he was told about the balloon was only one part of an almost unbelievable happening..”
Influence: Dan Brown the author of The Da Vinci Code, named The Doomsday Conspiracy as the book that inspired him to write thriller fiction, citing its "simplicity of the prose and efficiency of the storyline"
This book and the story are going to make you believe.
