Doomsday Conspiracy

Today I finished this book called “Doomsday Conspiracy” by Sidney Sheldon. This was the first book I have read of this author and was really impressed by the writing style... Simple but interesting.

Doomsday Conspiracy is story with lots of suspense, excitement, passion, in short a complete package to hold you till the end. The protagonist of the story is Robert Bellamy, a man hired by the NSA to locate the several bus passengers in Switzerland who had accidentally seen a weather balloon with some top secret equipment (later on identified as a UFO) collapsing in the woods. As Robert locates the passengers one by one, they are mysteriously killed. Each murder has been meticulously staged to appear as an accident. Robert's marriage also dissolves, as his wife, starved for attention by Robert, marries a rich business tycoon Monte Banks.

As Commander Robert Bellamy of US naval is in the verge of completion of his mission, he learns that he is being hunted by an unknown lethal force. Robert runs escaping from the attackers from Washington to Zurich, Rome and Paris. As the story unfolds to reveal Bellamy's past - why the women he loves cannot return his love, why is most beloved friends become his deadly enemies. Bellamy finally learns that the investigation ends in the place where he had started it.

Story from a hunter to being hunted was really excited and must read.
