The Apocalypse Watch is a novel by Robert Ludlum. A TV movie based on it aired in 1997. This was Ludlum's second novel to focus on a neo-Nazi conspiracy to take over the world, the other being The Holcroft Covenant. A line in the The Apocalypse Watch references Projekt Sonnenkinder from the earlier novel but indicates it never came to fruition, suggesting that the two books take place in alternate time-lines.
[edit] Plot summary
The plot concerns Drew Latham, a special officer for consular operations, who must discover why his brother was killed after a covert mission. He impersonates his brother, and uncovers a web of neo-Nazi supporters with members at high levels of the U.S. government and its allies. Latham must stop the neo-Nazis plot to take over Europe through terrorism and biological warfare.
A running joke concerns the French being unable to pronounce "Latham" correctly.
